footnotes not showing
hi everyone.
I have the interesting situation where fotnotes show for some of the document, but do not show after #12. I have some 23+ footnotes. When I CTRL+click on the footnote marker, I get sent to the bottom of the document, where you can type into the footnote, but you can't see it! anyone know the cause? cheers, Ceedee |

Is the text perhaps formatted as Hidden?

No. I can see them in Normal view and they are not 'hidden'. It's just in
print view, from #14 onwards they don't appear anywhere in the document. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Is the text perhaps formatted as Hidden? -- Suzanne S.

Are they footnotes to a table? I have seen this happen when (a) footnote
references were inserted in a table and (b) a table row continued over several pages. When footnote references appear in a table, Word defers the footnote to the page on which the row ends. If the row extends over several pages, and there are a lot of footnotes, by the time you get to the end of the row, there may not be room for all the footnotes, at which point Word just throws up its hands and throws in the towel. -- Suzanne S.

Yes - it is in a table! we're getting somewhere. One row takes up the whole
page, but the next page has several rows. The row doesn't go over the page. However, I have put in an extra row and moved some of the text to the next row, and that seems to work! The rest of the footnotes are showing ok! thanks so much, Ceedee "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are they footnotes to a table?

I've usually found that splitting the row where possible does the trick. If
the row took up the entire page, leaving no room for the footnotes, then that would have been the problem. -- Suzanne S.

I know i'm raising an old post, but had this problem today.
Solved by selecting the entire table, going to table properties and setting the text wrapping to none. I had to manually set the table indent after this to replicate the indented style but it worked a treat (large legal document) |
