Paragraph numbering and footnotes
I have a document with numbered paragraphs. When I insert a footnote, Word
insists on numbering the graph line separating text from footnote. I cannot find a way to turn this "feature" off. Does anybody have a suggestion? |

Paragraph numbering and footnotes
You have evidently applied numbering to the Normal style, which is used for
the separator. You can edit the separator directly (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm), but a better approach would be to use a specific numbered style (such as List Number) for your numbered paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for this suggestion ... I changed the second-level style to "list
paragraph" (couldn't find "list number") and this works. Now, a followup question, if you don't mind -- the multilevel list I create travels with its document, but I cannot seem to save it for use in other documents as well. I'm sure that I am simply not querying the help files with the right words ... can you steer me in the right direction? "Suzanne S.

You need to select the style in the Styles pane, right-click, choose Modify,
and select the radio button for "New documents based on this template." -- Suzanne S.

Paragraph numbering and footnotes
I am very excited, as I seem to be making progress -- if one equates motion
and progress I followed your suggestion ... a number of times, before I saw where these user-defined lists show up to be invoked. Now I have several redundant styles in the "List Library" pane, and no apparent way to delete them. I am betting that there is an "intuitively obvious" way to do this, but my intuition regarding Word is suspect of late. Can you help? Thanks for your patience! p.s. I notice that the box to "Notify me of replies" appears to be cosmetic rather than functional .. at least when using Firefox as the browser. |

You can right-click a list format under "List Library" at Home tab | Multilevel
List and choose Remove from List Library on the context menu. To restore the built-in formats, you can quit Word and then delete the ListGal.dat file in your user profile. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "dan_waldo" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the suggestion, Stefan. Unfortunately, the items I want to delete
I find under "list styles" rather than "list library" and when I right-click on those puppies my only option is "modify." If it takes the eradication of listgal.dat to fix this, I'm up for it ... but I have to think there's a less drastic solution!

List styles are a different story. Since they are styles, you can delete them
via the Organizer dialog box. To display the dialog: Press Alt+F8, and then click the Organizer button. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dan_waldo" wrote in message ...
