Keep each chapter in a single Word section, and use the option to
restart footnotes based on sections. Then enable the "Different
first
page" option on the Layout tab of File | Page Setup. Make sure
that
you set "Apply to" to "Whole document" before clicking OK! This
will
create separate headers and footers for the first page of each
section, making it possible to change their contents without
affecting
the main headers and footers.

I am using office XP word.

I need the first page number of each chapter to be on the
bottom of the page and the second page number and onward to the
end
of the
chapter to be on the top of the page. I can do this by inserting
section breaks. My problem comes in when I am trying to renumber
the
footnotes in each chapter to begin with 1. I can do this for the
first
section on
the first page of the chapter, but the second page of the
chapter
with its different section break (made so I could accommodate
the
page
number format)does not allow me to have the footnotes be
continuous
from the first section on the first page of the chapter or does
not
allow
me to start with a number other than one (to make continuous
with
the
footnotes on the first page of the chapter.

Any insight would be appreciated...thanks...
