Getting to the Endnotes / Footnotes setting pane
When I try to get to the settings pane for endnotes and footnotes I follow
Word's instructions (Word tells you "On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote") but get a new endnote instead of the settings pane. What am I doing wrong? |

Getting to the Endnotes / Footnotes setting pane
To display the footnote/endnote pane, you must be in Normal view: On
the View menu, click Normal. Now you should be able to display the footnote/endnote pane by clicking Footnotes on the *View* menu. Alternatively, if you are trying to change the properties of footnotes and/or endnotes, in the Footnotes and Endnotes dialog box, click Options. In the Note Options dialog box, make the desired changes, and then click OK to confirm. Make sure that you click the *Close* button to exit the Footnotes and Endnotes dialog box; do *not* click OK, since this will make Word insert an additional note. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "John FM Holstein" wrote in message news When I try to get to the settings pane for endnotes and footnotes I follow Word's instructions (Word tells you "On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote") but get a new endnote instead of the settings pane.

Getting to the Endnotes / Footnotes setting pane
It didn't work in ANY view. But yesterday I found the answer to my own
question. On another discussion list one reply to a question said that somehow the menu command had become a macro named "InsertFootnote," and that the user should rename or delete this macro. That person said that this is not a macro that Word supplies. I couldn't rename it, so I deleted it. And then I was able to get the footnotes/endnotes pane. I suspect that the application Endnotes inserted that macro. "Stefan Blom" wrote: To display the footnote/endnote pane, you must be in Normal view: On the View menu, click Normal.

Getting to the Endnotes / Footnotes setting pane
InsertFootnote is a built-in Word command which brings up the Footnote
and Endnote dialog box. If a macro sub-routine with the same name as a built-in command exists, it will replace that command.

Getting to the Endnotes / Footnotes setting pane
I would think it more likely that the Footnote command on the Insert menu
(InsertFootnote, which opens the dialog) had been replaced with the command InsertFootnoteNow, which inserts a footnote (same as Ctrl+Alt+F). I've been watching this thread for a while, and I think some of the confusion may be arising from the fact that the Footnote dialog varies between versions. 1. In Word 2000 and earlier, the Footnote command on the Insert menu opens the Footnote and Endnote dialog, which offers the choice of footnote or endnote and some choices about numbering. The Options... button opens the Note Options dialog, with tabs for All Footnotes and All Endnotes, which offer further choices for placement, number format, and so on. 2. In Word 2002 and 2003, the dialog is accessed via Insert | Reference | Footnote, and all the options are in a single dialog. Neither of these commands, however, inserts a footnote unless the user clicks OK. If there are existing footnotes or endnotes, the options can be changed without inserting a new note by choosing Apply (possibly Close in earlier versions) instead of OK. -- Suzanne S.

Good point. If this is what happened, the command could be restored via ToolsCustomize. But of course, if an add-in of some sort modifies the menu bar, it would be necessary to uninstall the add-in first. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP I've been watching this thread for a while, and I think some of the confusion may be arising from the fact that the Footnote dialog varies between versions. 1.
