Footnotes - Keyboard Shortcut
I'd like to use a keyboard shortcut for inserting a footnote. Can
somebody please tell me the combination? PS: Is it possible to have word automatically insert a footnote reference number, via find/replace? To replace every occurrence of ** with a separate, continuously numbered, footnote reference? Thanks. *(((({ *(((({ |

I don't know about the second question, but, for the first, use Ctrl+Alt+F.
This will insert a footnote using your current settings, so you may want to use Insert | Footnote for the first one to make sure that the settings are correct. -- Suzanne S.

PS: Is it possible to have word automatically insert a footnote
reference number, via find/replace? To replace every occurrence of ** with a separate, continuously numbered, footnote reference? Hi *(((({ You can change custom footnotes into auto-numbered footnotes with a macro: http://www.google.com/groups?threadm... hx.gbl&rnum=1 Once you've done that, you can choose the numbering scheme in the footnote dialog. Likely, it'll already be the default 1, 2, 3 style. Regards, Klaus |

Thanks, Klaus --
But the document doesn't have any Word footnotes. It's scanned, and the * indicates a footnote. I want to do a find/replace and insert a footnote reference in lieu of the *. Is that possible? *(((({ In the last exciting episode on Tue, 11 Jan 2005 03:36:59 +0100, "Klaus Linke" wrote: | PS: Is it possible to have word automatically insert a footnote | reference number, via find/replace?

There's no simple way to do that, probably.
Can you tell where the footnote texts end (say, a manual page break inserted by the OCR software)? You might be able to write a macro then, something like: -- Search for the next asterisk (footnote reference in the text) and set a bookmark there, -- Search down for the next asterisk (footnote reference at the end of the page) and select the footnote text, -- Cut it to the clipboard, -- Go back to the bookmark, -- Insert a "real" footnote, and paste the footnote text. -- Wash, rinse and repeat until you don't find any more asterisks.

And hope you don't have more than one footnote on the same page (or step 2 will not find the corresponding text ...?).
