Renumbering footnotes
Fair enough, though there's a link to a cautionary tale wrt insert pages at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Joshua Kreitzer" wrote in message ... This was for a book with looseleaf updates. In prior revisions, the goal had been to change only those pages that needed to be changed due to new content. It's true that new footnotes could have been inserted with automatic renumbering. However, that would have effectively required the looseleaf update to have every succeeding page in the chapter reprinted in order to take account the changes in footnote numbering. By inserting decimal-numbered footnotes, the content that wasn't being changed in a given update would not need to be reprinted for that update. Now, however, a completely revised edition is being prepared and so the footnotes are to be cleaned up to use consecutive whole numbers. Joshua Kreitzer On Apr 7, 11:06 pm, "Suzanne S.

"Joshua Kreitzer" wrote in message ... The reason the footnotes were numbered this way is that this is the manuscript of a book which has gone through several revisions. In each revision, some more text was added, which required the addition of decimal-numbered footnotes between the existing footnotes to avoid having to renumber all the later notes. However, at this time it is desired to clean up the numbering and just have whole-numbered footnotes. |
