Nope. MS Word all the way. What we have discovered this afternoon is that the
problem originated when the document was sent in an e-mail to me (not as an
attachment, but in the e-mail itself) using the Outlook e-mail system we have
at the Divinity School at Duke. Our strategy is to cut and paste all of the
note material into another temp. document, delete the note numbers from the
text of the master document, and then cut and paste the note text back in
using the "insert footnote" function.

If you have a better idea, we'd love to try it. There are 468 footnotes in
this document.
Thanks, Anne

I'm editing a paper using MS Word 2003. The footnotes numbers are in
brackets
that can't be deleted and I can't get them to restart at 1 at the
beginning
of each chapter using the methods on the MS on-line help site. Any ideas?
