You will notice an empty
space in Volume 1, Number 2. I physically pasted in the twisted
holiday
card that my brother sent me, and I no longer have a copy. Sorry.
I use the following file to imbed
my funny footnotes. I don't know how it works in MS Word, but in
Wordperfect, you use end notes, and turn columns off and back on.
I
got this file when I imported the structure into Word. This
is
a semi-automated system. The footnotes number automatically, but
the you have to copy the text back and forth across the
boundaries.
In WordPerfect, you turn off the columns place the endnotes (not
footnotes), and turn the columns back on. In reveal codes it's [Col
Off][Endnote Placement][Col On][HPg]. At that's at least what it
shows
in reveal codes for WP 5.2 for DOS.
The secret is that my
footnotes
are really endnotes. The file allows them to start and stop
endnotes
wherever I want to. According to MicroFlaccid tech support, this
can't be done, but the WordPerfect converter a creates the necessary
structure.
The way that I give my
footnotes
their own footnotes is as follows. I create a series of footnotes
one after the other like this 11 12 13 . In Word, I
hide
the last two footnotes, In Wordperfect, I make them .2 point high, so
they
appear like this11. In the footnotes themselves, I add
superscript symbols (typically three pound signs), and then replace
them
with the correct number when I am ready for a final draft.
The reason I make "spaghetti
footnotes" (Or as I like to think of them Terry
Pratchett style) is because I talk that way. I tend to go
into
minutia, and by footnoting and sometimes footnoting the footnotes, I
keep
a relatively clear narrative, and leave the digressions for
later.
If you think it's confusing to read, you should try listening
to
it.
