Footnotes and sections
Anyone know of a white paper or info regarding Word 2003 and footnotes in
multiple sections? Can you have symbol footnotes in one section, then numbered footnotes in another section? Can you have footnotes start over in the next section at #1? Thanks so much, -Monica |

Footnotes and sections
Hi Monica,
You can restart footnotes in each section. Footnote settings are somewhere in the Insert | Reference | Footnote dialog, possibly requiring another click on Options (sorry, I don't have Word 2003). After you have changed the settings, the Cancel button should change to Close, which will let you exit the dialog while saving the settings, but not inserting a footnote. I'm finding that you canNOT combine the auto-symbol footnotes and the auto-numbered footnotes in the same document. However, you could get around this by using a Custom Mark instead of a symbol note. The custom mark footnotes are a separate series from the AutoNumber series, and do not interfere with it. Presumably you don't need that many symbol footnotes.

Footnotes and sections
It may be different in MacWord, but in Word 2003, you *can* use 1, 2, 3
footnotes in one section and *, €*, €¡ in another, and you can set other settings independently per section as well. For example, in the section that has the symbol footnotes, I set them to "Restart each page," but the numbered footnotes in the other section (set to Continuous) were not affected. The trick is to make sure that "This section" is selected in the "Apply to" box. -- Suzanne S.

Yep, different on the Mac. MacWord doesn't have an "apply to" option for
footnotes at all. Thanks for the info, Suzanne. I feel a feature request coming on.  On 12/14/06 7:59 PM, "Suzanne S.

Hmm, good to know that this works when you are combining "automatic
symbol" footnotes and numeric footnotes. When using numeric footnotes (or endnotes), only, it certainly doesn't work to use different options for different sections (in Word 2003). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

If I understand you correctly, it works for a combination of numbers and
symbols but not for different number formats? That would make sense to me. -- Suzanne S.

Well, that's the conclusion I drew from your post. I haven't had a
chance to test it myself, yet (currently working with Word 2000). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
