You mean that you are keeping sections as separate files? That is sometimes
helpful.

If the typesetter accepts PDFs, bringing the separate files together after
you have converted them to PDFs (using freeware PDF converter, for example)
might also be a possibility.

I'm not sure how footnote separators are relevant, but, reading the thread
in a newsreader, I don't get the full context ...

'Stefan Blom[_3_ Wrote:

be continuous
for the rest of the sections (which I think is what you are trying to
accomplish), but this doesn't work—unless it has been fixed in Word
2013,
which I have not yet tested. The settings in the Footnote and Endnote
dialog
box apply to *all* sections (all continuous or all restarted).

As a workaround, consider mixing footnotes and endnotes to create a
separate
sequence of numbers.

Hi Stefan

I read a post about working with seperate chapters starting at footnote
1 each time. As far as unhooking goes I managed to alter the document as
it is . It meant a lot more work and I kept having to alter the footnote
tab but it was easy enough. Just a lot of work.

I will keep sections seperate from now and only put them together when I
send it to the typesetter. Or she can put them together which I think is
better. Decided to stay with footnotes and the typesetter can undo the
footnote seperator as she goes so so she can capture them. I just hope
the new macro I did in word for altering the way they are displayed
holds. She has worked with footnotes before so I presume her clients
removed the seperator. She can put them on the right page. It may take
longer, and more expensive, but solved my problem with staying with
footnotes.

Many thanks

I put my doc together section by section, and then chapter by chapter
using" insert" function. Each chapter starts with new footnote 1. Now
because I am making changes to one whole chapter it creates another
problem (doesn’t matter what - it is unavoidable) and I am redoing the
same section multiple times. I need to do a smaller section (not the
whole chapter) at a time and retain continuous footnote numbering.

So I need to undo each section in my document while I make changes and
put it together later. Also I am sending it by email to a proof-reader
and I want to send off a few sections at a time, so better if the
footnotes can follow on.

I can’t remember how I cut out sections and repasted without losing
continuous footnote numbering. (maybe I never did). If I do it by cut
and paste my footnotes return to number 1. (as we know)

Is there a better way of doing it than redoing each page by restarting
at the last footnote number from previous section? I lost a few bits
of
info off my footnotes so I have another copy I refer to which has been
useful. So would really like continuous numbering.

Anyone have any advices please? Looked in various tutorials but can’t
find answer. Maybe I am not asking the right question
kind regards
