Problem with footnote. Help needed
I am editing my document for a journal submission. They require footnote style as follows:
Number format: †, ‡, .... Numbering: Restart at each page The problem is that the required 'number format' starts with (*, †, ‡, ...) I can do a 'start at' at (†). But the moment I do so 'numbering' changes to (continuous) automatically. And the moment I change 'numbering' again to (Restart at each page), 'start at' changes back to (*) Just needed some help on this. To restate I need: Number format: *, †, ‡, .... Start at: † Numbering: Restart at each page (.) and '.' indicate inbuilt word option. I am using MS word 2007. Thanks |

The only built-in "symbol format" is "*, †, ‡,..." If you want a different
sequence of symbols, you will have to insert them manually via the Footnote and Endnote dialog box, each time you are adding a note. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Vikash" wrote in message ...

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to the InsertFootnote command; this will
make the procedure a bit quicker. To do so, make use of the Customize Keyboard dialog box. To display the dialog box in Word 2007, click Office button | Word Options | Quick Access Toolbar | Customize. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Vikash" wrote in message ... Thanks Stefan.

It's already Ctrl-Alt-F. (That wasn't my invention long, long ago, was it?)

Ctrl+Alt+F inserts the currently selected automatic format, yes. If you want
to create a custom sequence of symbols, you must revisit the Footnote and Endnote dialog box for each new insertion. As far as I know, there is no shortcut assigned to the dialog box by default. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ... It's already Ctrl-Alt-F.

In other words, if Ctrl+Alt+F displays the dialog box in your version of
Word, you must have customized the shortcut. Or, if you are using an older version, maybe the assignment has changed... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

No, Ctr-Alt-F inserts a footnote. There's a similar command for inserting
and endnote, but since endnotes are the devil's curse on scholars, I do not use them.

Indeed, endnotes are a nuisance to the reader... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ... No, Ctr-Alt-F inserts a footnote.
