To enter a context string in the topic, you use a pound sign (#) footnote. A context-string footnote must be the first footnote in the topic unless you use build tags to specify individual topics for the build. If you use build tags, the build-tag footnote must precede the context string. (For more information about build tags, see “Assigning Build Tags,” later in this chapter.)
To insert a context string
1.1.Position the insertion point at the beginning (extreme left) of the first line in the topic.
2.2.From the Insert menu, choose Footnote.
The Footnote dialog box appears.
3.3.Type the pound sign as the custom footnote mark, and then choose OK.
A superscript pound sign ( # ) appears in the text window, and the insertion point moves to the footnote window.
4.4.Type the context string to the right of the pound sign in the footnote window.
Use only a single space between the pound sign and the text string. (The context string itself shouldn’t contain any spaces.) For example, you might type the following context string to identify the “Saving Files” topic in Cardfile Help:
# savefile_card
Figure 6.4 shows this footnote window.
Note:
After inserting a footnote, you can close the footnote window or leave it open. If you are going to code additional footnotes, you may want to leave it open. In Word for Windows version 1.1, you close the footnote window by double-clicking the split bar (the black rectangle between the text window and the footnote window’s vertical scroll bars). In Word for Windows version 2.0, you can just click the Close button.
