[removing all headers and footers[_2_]]

Today, the zoom feature/listing disappeared from the bottom of my edit menu
in MS Word 2003, why? Do I have to go out of Word to get it back?

also, when I select a sentence with the control plus mouse click, that
selects the sentence PLUS the endnote of the previous sentence every time. Is
there a way to stop that?

thanks

You mean from the View menu, right?

I guess your Endnote reference is placed to the right of the period that
finishes the previous sentence, right? I do not know what the standard
practice is, but if you place the reference to the left of the period, you
will not see that behaviour. A sentence, for Word, is everyting between two
sentence delimiting punctuation marks (periods, excalmation points, ellipsis
points, etc.)
One way around that is to place the cursor at the begining of the sentence,
and then SHIFT-Click at the end.

Hi, that solved the zoom problem, thanks a lot.

But on the other: in US English copyediting all footnote and endnote numbers
go to the right of the period of a sentence, not inside the period. It is odd
that MS Word uses the British copyediting form?

Your trick is too cumbersome to be useful, really. I wish there was some way
to set it not to take a space and number at the beginning of its selection of
a sentence?? I use cursor/click so much, that this is a serious flaw in word

Sorry, it was not really meant as a trick, just another way of selecting a
sentence. Surely you do not have endnote references at the end of every
sentence? So, for the few cases you do, use the SHIFT-click approach instead
of the faster CTRL-click one... I do not think there is a way of modifying
that behaviour, which is not dictated by type setting policies, but, I
believe, by the simple fact that Word determines that sentences are all
characters between two senence-delimiting punctuation marks. Maybe it should
differentiate based on certain factors, but then it would be a headache for
the developpers... What about quotation marks? Brackets? Curly Brackets? etc.

Hi, sorry to be late on this, but the control click is what I use a great deal.

with lots on endnotes in my scholarly papers and books, that is a pain to
use, esp. when I am working to deadlines.

The control click works fine with brackets of all kinds and curly quote
marks. Word knows not to select those at end of the last sentence. There
should be an easy way to tell it, via a macro, not to select endnotes or
spaces at the beginning of a sentence? But I do not know how to create such a
macro.
