Give it a try!
If you followed the “Give it a try!” exercise on page 4 or page 5 to create a table of
authorities for a sample document, take a moment to compare this table of authorities
against the one in your original document. Are any abbreviations missing from your
new table of authorities?
For example, the abbreviation “Dept.” (short form for “Department”) is not included
by default in the Perfect Authority dictionary. If you need to support nonstandard
abbreviations such as this, you can easily add them to the Perfect Authority dictionary.
1 Click the Perfect Authority button on the WordPerfect toolbar.
The main Perfect Authority window appears.
2 Click Dictionary Editor.
The Dictionary Editor dialog box appears.
3 Click the Abbreviations tab, and add the missing abbreviations and their long
forms. (For the example described above, you would add the abbreviation “Dept.”
and its long form “Department”.)
Your new abbreviations appear in the Abbreviation list (in bold formatting).
4 Click OK to commit your changes and close the Dictionary Editor dialog box.
5 Re-create the table of authorities for your sample document, and confirm that the
new abbreviations now appear in it.
If your new abbreviations don’t quite display correctly, simply edit them using the
Dictionary Editor, and then re-create your table of authorities to confirm the
changes.
