Hi, Marshall. This should happen by default if you're using
footnotes/endnotes. Or perhaps the style has been changed in the document to NOT be superscripted, and you just need to reformat the style. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Marshall" wrote in message ...

Exactly how are you inserting the reference number?
Is this a footnote, endnote, cross-reference or what? What version of Word?

OK, how do I do that? I do not create styles. Some of these documents are
imported from Word Perfect a long time ago. "Anne Troy" wrote: Hi, Marshall. This should happen by default if you're using footnotes/endnotes.

See he
http://shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html The style you want to modify is the Footnote Reference style--if you select the number, it should come up selected (maybe), and superscript is under Format Font. Other articles on that site will also introduce you to styles. On 7/29/05 11:38 AM, "Marshall" wrote: OK, how do I do that? I do not create styles.

OK, I have changed an individual document. How can I change the program to
default to superscript for the "Footnote Reference" for all documents?

If you checked "add to template" when you made the change, all new documents
will carry the change, because you changed Normal.dot, which is the template all new documents are based on. For already created documents, you will need to redefine the style in each document. There are several different ways to redefine a style in old documents: 1) open up each document and do the same thing you just did OR 2) use the Organizer to copy the changed style definition from the Normal.dot to the old documents. You would still need to open all the documents first, but it might be easier--I think you could just leave the Organizer open and use the drop-down menu in that dialog to switch among the documents (though I haven't tried that). For fuller instructions, see: http://www.officearticles.com/word/u...osoft_word.htm OR 3) use Insert | File to put the old document into a new blank file based on the current Normal.dot, which will carry the updated style definitions. I generally like this method, as it creates a new file and leaves a backup, which is always handy. OR 4) re-attaching the template with the new style definition. The same link as above shows you the Tools | Templates and Add-ins dialog. In that dialog, you would need to check the "automatically update document styles" checkbox, and then your doc should pull the new style definition from Normal.dot. But then you have to uncheck the box, because it generally has evil effects. I don't recommend this method, and I'm not quite sure whether you would have to close and re-open the doc or close and re-open the dialog for it to take effect.
