SYMPTOMS
========
 
If a Microsoft Word 5.x document containing footnotes is converted to
Microsoft Works 4.0, Works will insert a second footnote reference in both
the body of the document and in the footnote area, if the footnote
reference is a symbol.
 
NOTE: The Microsoft Word 5.x footnote feature allows you to insert either a
number as a footnote reference (1,2,3), or a symbol as a footnote reference
(*, #, a)
 
If the footnote reference marker is a number, Works will convert this
footnote marker and its reference correctly.
 
If the footnote reference marker is a symbol, Works will insert a footnote
number next to the symbol in both the main body and in the footnote window
of the document.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To delete the footnote marker that Works inserts, and retain the symbol
from Word, do the following:
 
 1. Scroll down to the footnote window.
 
 2. Highlight the text with the symbol for the footnote that is being
    duplicated.
 
 3. From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
 
 4. Return to the main body of the document, and locate the corresponding
    footnote reference.
 
 5. Delete the footnote reference number, this will delete it in the
    footnote window, too.
 
 6. Scroll back to the footnote window.
 
 7. Place your cursor (I-beam) where you want to re-insert the footnote.
 
 8. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
