Hi all

I have several documents which I produced using Word Perfect 12, and
which I now wish to convert to MS Word 2007. They are fairly simple
documents with no fancy formatting so the conversion is largely
successful, but...

The documents have several footnotes (which have converted OK) but if I
try to insert a new footnote everything works fine except that the
footnote number in the document appears as plain text, normal size
instead of a small superscript. (The actual footnote itself is fine -
no problems with that.) So far the only solution I have been able to
come up with is to manually change it using the superscript button,
which becomes fairly tedious when my document editing involves several
new footnotes. Is there anything I can do so that the new footnotes
work properly?

Thanks in advance

Robert

Select the footnote reference number
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+S will throw up the styles selector box. At the bootom of
that box click the Styles Inspector button -or add the Style Inspector
command to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) .
This will show you the style associated with the number, which should be
Footnote Reference. Right click the footnote reference indicator and modify
it to include superscript formatting.

Hi Graham

Thanks

However, while this allows me to correct the footnote references, it
doesn't allow new references to be created in the appropriate
superscript format.

Thanks again

Robert

If you have modified the Footnote Reference style to be superscript, the
references should be properly formatted.

Thanks all, but I am still having trouble. I have tried to follow all
suggestions but to no avail. Perhaps its just me!

I have attached a sample document which illustrates my problem. If
anyone can get new footnotes to work properly in this document I would
be grateful to be shown how.

Thanks

Robert

Thanks Suzanne and Graham

I finally was able to work through your suggestions and the problem is
solved. Sorry that it took me so long to catch on to what you were
saying.

re my attempt to attach a file - is the .docx extension a problem? Will
the Forum only accept Word files with a .doc extension?

Cheers

Robert

I'm not sure what forum you're posting from, but most (including Microsoft's
Communities) will not accept attachments at all. If you post direct to
Usenet using an NNTP newsreader (see http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm), you
can post attachments (though it's not recommended in any NG not designated
for binaries), but they will be seen only by other newsreader users, which
is fine since most of those who *answer* questions here do post directly to
msnews via Outlook Express or another newsreader.
