If you'd like, send me the document to look at. One thing you might check
one, though. We've seen people who inadvertently got started typing document
text into the endnotes (using Print Layout view--it would be unlikely anyone
would do this in the Endnote pane). It seems less likely one could do this
with footnotes, but it's worth checking on.

Many thanks for the very helpful suggestions - tried them all to no avail.
Tried various ways of dealing with a corruption. None made any difference
to
the problem - incidentally there is only one section - no section breaks
in
the document. It just suddenly stops showing the footnotes at the bottom
of
the page after page 11 of a 30-page document! If you try to put a new
footnote in after page 11 it puts in the number but doesn't give you the
option to add text below. Same problem if you lift it a few pages at a
time
into a clean Word document
Not in Track changes
Not hidden text
I'm flummoxed but thanks again for the help - interesting to see the note
on
corrupted docs in any case!

First, however, if you are Tracking Changes, that causes footnotes to do
odd
things. Are you?
And I assume someone hasn't used hidden text on all the problematic
footnotes (in which case the text would have little dots under it when
you
can see it).

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
