How create a 'style' for footnote references?
How does one go about creating a 'style' specifically for footnote references
-- i.e., both in the text and in the footnotes themselves? Basically, I would like these references to have a different appearance and font size than the default. And within the footnote itself, there's the problem of keeping the formatting of the 'reference' separate from that of the footnote 'text.' Not sure how to do that. Thanks. |

How create a 'style' for footnote references?
There is already a built-in Footnote Reference style, which is applied to
the footnote reference by default. All you have to do is modify it. It is a character style, applied only to the reference mark. -- Suzanne S.

How create a 'style' for footnote references?
Word is going to use the Footnote reference and Footnote text styles by
default. There's no way to change that. However, there's no reason you can't modify those styles to get the formatting results you want. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "mkraft" wrote in message ...

I've seen that but in the document I'm working on, for some reason that style wasn't used. I suppose I could modify the default style (assuming it hasn't been deleted) and then run a find-&-replace to replace the current footnote style (which I think is just 'body text') - ? Thanks. |

The footnote itself should not be Body Text. It should be Footnote Text. If
it is not, you might want to change that as well. You can apply the Footnote Reference style (however defined) using Find and Replace, searching for ^f (footnote reference mark). Be sure to run the replace in both the document body and the footnotes (if you use Replace All, Word will search all document stories in turn). -- Suzanne S.

I'll have to run Find and Replace twice, won't I -- i.e., once for the Footnote Reference 'style' and once for the Footnote Text 'style' - ? Can Find and Replace convert footnotes that are styled in 'body text' to 'footnote text'? If so, how would that be done? Thanks. |

You apply Footnote Text to the entire footnote, including the reference
mark. Then you apply Footnote Reference to the reference mark only. -- Suzanne S.

As Suzanne said, in the find what box, put ^f. In the the replace with box
put nothing. But with the cursor in the replace box, click More format style and from the replace style dialog choose Footnote reference or Footnote Text (note that you could choose some other style, though that's probably not a best practice).

How create a 'style' for footnote references?
That might happen if the document was converted from a different program. It
cannot "happen" with footnotes created in the default Word, however. Either, someone explicitly monkeyed with the formatting after the footnote(s) were inserted, or there is some 3rd party add-in that's running interference. In either of the latter two cases, you're in for a frustrating future unless you can nip the cause in the bud. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "mkraft" wrote in message ...
