Conversion from WordPerfect
Hi all I have several documents which I produced using Word Perfect 12, and which I now wish to convert to MS Word 2007. They are fairly simple documents with no fancy formatting so the conversion is largely successful, but... The documents have several footnotes (which have converted OK) but if I try to insert a new footnote everything works fine except that the footnote number in the document appears as plain text, normal size instead of a small superscript. (The actual footnote itself is fine - no problems with that.) So far the only solution I have been able to come up with is to manually change it using the superscript button, which becomes fairly tedious when my document editing involves several new footnotes. Is there anything I can do so that the new footnotes work properly? Thanks in advance Robert -- RobertJohn |

Conversion from WordPerfect
Select the footnote reference number
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+S will throw up the styles selector box. At the bootom of that box click the Styles Inspector button -or add the Style Inspector command to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) . This will show you the style associated with the number, which should be Footnote Reference. Right click the footnote reference indicator and modify it to include superscript formatting. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org RobertJohn wrote: Hi all I have several documents which I produced using Word Perfect 12, and which I now wish to convert to MS Word 2007.

Hi Graham Thanks However, while this allows me to correct the footnote references, it doesn't allow new references to be created in the appropriate superscript format.

If you have modified the Footnote Reference style to be superscript, the
references should be properly formatted. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "RobertJohn" wrote in message ...

Thanks all, but I am still having trouble. I have tried to follow all suggestions but to no avail. Perhaps its just me! I have attached a sample document which illustrates my problem. If anyone can get new footnotes to work properly in this document I would be grateful to be shown how. Thanks Robert Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne and Graham I finally was able to work through your suggestions and the problem is solved. Sorry that it took me so long to catch on to what you were saying. re my attempt to attach a file - is the .docx extension a problem? Will the Forum only accept Word files with a .doc extension?

I'm not sure what forum you're posting from, but most (including Microsoft's
Communities) will not accept attachments at all. If you post direct to Usenet using an NNTP newsreader (see http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm), you can post attachments (though it's not recommended in any NG not designated for binaries), but they will be seen only by other newsreader users, which is fine since most of those who *answer* questions here do post directly to msnews via Outlook Express or another newsreader. -- Suzanne S.
