how do i get an asterisk for 1st footnote and numbers after th
Hey Suzanne,
re the old, original post-- In MacWord 2004, I can use a custom mark to get the first asterisk, and then switch to AutoNumber after that, starting at 1, no section breaks required. Does that not work in WinWord? Daiya I have found two ways to do this. Neither is a very satisfactory workaround, and both have drawbacks. Method 1 will work only if your document does not require any section breaks (that is, it's all in one section to begin with): 1. Insert your first footnote, selecting the *, €*, €¡ series of marks. 2. Insert a Continuous section break somewhere between that footnote and the next. 3. When you insert the next footnote, change to the 1, 2, 3 numbering. Choose "This section" under "Apply to" and "Restart each section" under Numbering. Method 2 will work only if you have a numbered footnote on the same page with the author-name asterisked footnote: 1. Type an asterisk manually after the author's name. 2. Insert Footnote 1 normally. 3. Move the insertion point to the beginning of Footnote 1 (before the reference number) and press Enter. 4. In the new paragraph, type an asterisk and your author note. Note that this will be part of Footnote 1 and will move with it, which is why you must have Footnote 1 on the same page. -- Suzanne S.

The next footnote starts with number 1 and is consecutive after that. How do I get that 1st footnote to be an asterisk and the next and subsequent ones to be numbers? Thanks |

old post (how old is it, anyway?) I wasn't aware of that. -- Suzanne S.
