Other Viewer elements remain unaffected.

RESOLUTION

You can enter footnotes for Viewer elements by following these steps:
  1. From the Insert menu, choose Footnote.
  2. Choose Custom Mark.
  3. Enter the mark that corresponds to the Viewer element you want to use.
  4. Choose OK. (You should now be in the Footnote section of the Word 6.0 main window.)
  5. Enter the text that is to be associated with the footnote.
  6. Close the Footnote section and resume editing the document.
Using the macro facility in Word 6.0, you can create a macro to automate these steps. Please refer to your Word 6.0 documentation for information concerning creating and using macros.
