Thumbs up Answer: footnotes not showing

Hi Ceedee,

It sounds like there might be a formatting issue with your footnotes. Here are a few steps you can try to fix the problem:
  1. Check your footnote settings: Go to the "References" tab and click on "Footnotes" in the "Footnotes" section. Make sure that "Footnotes" is selected under "Location" and that the "Number format" is set to "1, 2, 3...".
  2. Check your view settings: Make sure that you are viewing your document in "Print Layout" view. You can switch to this view by clicking on the "View" tab and selecting "Print Layout" in the "Views" section.
  3. Check your footnote formatting: Go to the first footnote that is not showing up and right-click on the footnote number. Select "Footnote and Endnote" from the menu that appears. In the "Footnote and Endnote" dialog box, make sure that "Footnote Text" is selected under "Show" and that the "Numbering" option is set to "Restart each section".
  4. Check your document sections: If your document has multiple sections, make sure that the footnotes are set to restart at the beginning of each section. You can do this by going to the "Page Layout" tab, clicking on "Breaks" in the "Page Setup" section, and selecting "Next Page" under "Section Breaks". Then, go to the first footnote in the new section and follow step 3 above to make sure that the footnotes are set to restart at each section.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with your footnotes. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
