Footnote number formatting changes spontaneously
Word 2003
Using the dialog at Insert menu Reference Footnote, I inserted the first footnote in my document with the asterisk/cross/etc. "number" formatting and set the numbering to Restart Each Page. Thereafter, I used Ctrl-Alt-F to insert subsequent footnotes, and the same formatting appeared, no problem. When I close and reopen the document, however, the footnote references become numerals and are Continuous throughout the document. How can I make the formatting I want stick? Thanks. |

This is very strange. You should treat the document as corrupt; see

Thanks.
Self-inflicted corruption. Long ago, I created an AutoOpen macro that included a footnote settings subroutine. I've disabled it. On Feb 23, 6:55*am, "Stefan Blom" wrote: This is very strange.

I'm glad you got it sorted, and thank you for the follow-up.
