A different problem with footnotes. In a longish Word (Word/Office 2003)
document with several footnotes and cross references the first few footnotes
appear in Print Layout and will print, all the others seem hidden. They show
on mouseover and in Normal view. They appear if you change from footnotes to
endnotes but are lost again if you go back to footnotes. If you try to add a
footnote on the pages with the hidden footnotes it adds the number but
doesn't give you anywhere to write at the bottom of the page. What has
happened? There are tables in the document, but some footnotes that work are
in them; some that don't aren't. Any help would be appreciated

Thank you, Stefan! I had a problem with footnotes, too: I would
insert a
new footnote, and, in the footnote pane of the window, the new
footnote
number would appear in the middle of an old footnote. Stefan's
suggestion to
rename normal.dot did the trick. Thanks!

First test if a new blank document allows you to insert footnotes.
If
it does, you know that the problem is with your specific document.

Then try the following: Display formatting marks. To do this,
click
the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar. Paragraph marks will display
as
¶ symbols. Now, copy the entire document, except for the final
paragraph mark, and paste it into your newly created document.
Save
it. Inserting footnotes should work correctly again.

Note: If you cannot create footnotes (without the error message)
from
a blank document, you need to rename normal.dot and have Word
create a
new, fresh copy for you.
