WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is experiencing a problem with cross-referencing equations. The following steps will duplicate the situation:

1.      Enter WordPerfect dated 08/20/90
2.      Create an equation by pressing Alt-F9 (Graphics), E (Equation), C (Create), E (Edit). Type "x over y" and exit the Equation Editor.
3.      Copy the equation 11 times so that there are a total of 12 equations in the document.
4.      In Reveal Codes, highlight the Equation 5 code.
5.      Insert an Equation Options code that turns on second level numbering. (Reveal Codes should now show equations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, and 5h.)
6.      Move to the bottom of the document (Home, Home, Down), type See Equation Box number for a cross reference. Press Alt-F5 (Mark Text), R (Cross Reference), B (Mark Both Reference and Target), G (Graphics Box Number, and E (Equation). Move the cursor just after the Equation 5a code and press Enter. The reference recognizes Equation 5 and not 5a.
8.      Repeat step 7 and reference Equation box 5b.
Now, both references say "See Equation Box Number (5)", even though boxes 5a and 5b are unique.

It appears that the Cross-Reference feature is limited to first level numbering only. Solutions: This feature is working as designed. In order for the cross-reference to recognize the second level numbering in the equation, the Caption Number Style option in the Graphics Edit screen needs to reflect both levels of numbering instead of just the first level. The customer needs to not only change the second level numbering, but also the box number style. For example, {Bold}1{bold} should be {Bold}1a{bold} (if using letters for second level). This is done by inserting the sequence (12) in place of (#). The Cross Reference feature only pulls out the caption number.
