[Dave Neve[_2_]]

Hello

I have a problem with a feature of Word that I don't even know what it is
called in English (maybe 'annotations or sth like that)

Sometimes, a small number appears at the end of a sentence and when you put
the cursor on it, a little envelope icon appears and then a small text

The same small text figures at the bottom of the page with the same number

Except that , after doing a long translation, the numbers in the body of the
page no longer correspond to the numbers at the bottom of the page

1 (in text)= 1(at bottom of page)
2 (in text)= 1(at bottom of page) This is where sth went wrong I guess
3 (in text)= 2(at bottom of page)
4 (in text)= 3(at bottom of page)
5 (in text)=4(at bottom of page)

I need to get things back to normal

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Dave

The feature to which you are referring is termed "footnotes" in English

I do not really understand your description of the problem, but maybe it is
the issue that is dealt with in the article "Why do my footnotes sometimes
end up on a different page from their references in the text?" at:

Or perhaps the footnotes were created in another application and didn't
convert properly into Word footnotes? If so, reinserting them is probably
required.

Or, if Track Changes is enabled, the numbers will not be sorted out till
changes are accepted (though I would expect the footnote references to match
for a given note).

Good point.

A third possible cause is document corruption, of course.
