I am experiencing the problem that you describe. In a document with several
footnotes, if a footnote is deleted the subsequent footnote numbers do not
update automatically.

I'm using MS Word 2003. I created a fairly lengthy document (about 45
pages)
that originally had a lot of footnotes in it, about 50. For a revision, I
removed many of these footnotes. The footnotes that remained got all
messed
up. Their numbering got changed, and I can't change the numbers to what
they
should be. The first footnote is 11, the next is up in the 20s, etc.
Furthermore, the first footnote is getting thrown onto the wrong page.
The
reference is on page 11 of my document, but it's throwing the actual
footnote
onto the bottom of page 5. I tried fiddling with the footnote options,
but
haven't found a solution yet. I even tried deleting all the footnotes,
but
when I try to re-write them the same problems emerge. The problem isn't
linked with tracking changes, is it? I have that on and wonder if it's
keeping deleted footnotes in the system. Help!
