Default Footnotes Style Turabian

Hi Trance,

The Word 2007 citation & bibliography feature primarily uses two fields
{Citation} for in-text citations of sources and the {Bibliography} field for creating a Bibliography/Works Cited table, which by
default puts in all of the references you choose to be in the 'current[document] list' in Manage source, even if not used in a
{Citation} field in the document.

The citation field isn't, it appears, 'aware' that it's in a footnote area, so it doesn't have, that I can see, a built in
formatting for that instance.

You can use the {Citation} field in a footnote and augment it with the field switches for prefix and suffix (typed/pasted text) that
are listed in Word Help (F1) or if the format of the reference that you want to put in the footnote matches that of one of the
bibliography styles you may want to insert a Works Cited/Bibliography and copy a listing to a footnote as text.

When I insert my footnotes using the Turabian style, they display at the
bottom of the page like this:

1 (Smith 1997)
2 (Strunk 2008)
etc

How do I make the footnotes expand to true Turabian / Chicago styled
format, eg?

1 Richard Saul Smith, Information Anxiety 2 (Indianapolis, IN: QUE, 2001),
71.

2 William Strunk and E. B. White, The Elements of Style (New York:
Macmillan, 1972), 27.

Thanks,
Trance77
