How do I renumber existing footnotes so that they start from '1'?
I'm trying to renumber an existing book-length continuous sequence of
footnotes to start from '1' in each chapter. I'm hoping there's a way to do this that won't involve bypassing the electronic numbering altogether. Can't seem to find this explained anywhere, but also don't remember it being a problem. I'm using Word 2003, Windows XP Professional. |

You can restart numbering in each section, but if you have more than one
section in a chapter, you'll find this doesn't work right. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Windpipe" wrote in message ...

I'm using Word 2003, Windows XP Professional. Hopefully each of your chapters is a separate Section already. (If not, put the cursor at the start of the first line of each chapter; Insert Break Section break types Next page [or: Odd page].) (If you already have a New Page break before each chapter, it could be a problem -- they seem to be very hard to delete.) Then: Insert Reference Footnote ... and change Numbering from Continuous to Restart each section. If there are any cross-references to footnote numbers, update them: Ctrl-A to select the entire document, and press F9. When it's done, click somewhere in the document to deselect the entire document, or you could wipe it out with a single keystroke! |
