default footnote window
-- Using Word 2000
When I open the footnote window (from "View", or clicking on an existing footnote number), it opens a window about 6 lines high. I always have to drag it larger before I can see the entire note and do any work. Is there a way to change the default size of this window? |

default footnote window
As far as I know, there is no way to change the default size of the footnote
pane. But note that you can scroll it to see all of its contents. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Alan" wrote in message oups.com... -- Using Word 2000 When I open the footnote window (from "View", or clicking on an existing footnote number), it opens a window about 6 lines high.

It is possible to manipulate the initial height of the Footnotes pane using a
macro. The macro below may be used. I cannot guarantee that it works in the same way as the built-in command (run via View Footnotes) in all situations. The size of the Footnotes pane is determined by the value of nPaneSize set in the macro (set to 60 below) - the value specifies the percentage the top pane occupies of the window - experiment with the size until it fits your needs. Sub ViewFootnotes_Special() Dim nPaneSize As Long 'Experiment with nPaneSize to set the height of the Footnotes pane nPaneSize = 60 With ActiveWindow Select Case .ActivePane.View.Type Case wdPrintView, wdWebView, wdPrintPreview 'if in footnotes, go to main window and vice versa If .View.SeekView = wdSeekFootnotes Then .View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument ElseIf .View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument Then .View.SeekView = wdSeekFootnotes End If Case Else 'e.g. Normal view 'If more than one pane shown, close #2, else open footnoes pane If .Panes.Count 1 Then .Panes(2).Close Else .View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneFootnotes 'Now in footnotes pane - set split percentage .SplitVertical = nPaneSize End If End Select End With End Sub You could install the macro and assign a keyboard shortcut to it. For help on installing a macro, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm For help on assigning shortcuts, see: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...roToHotkey.htm NOTE: The name of the command Word runs when you select View Footnotes is "ViewFootnoes". Therefore, if you install the above macro and change its name to "ViewFootnoes", the macro will run instead of the built-in command. Note that the command will not run when you double-click a footnote reference (at least not in my test). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Alan" wrote: -- Using Word 2000 When I open the footnote window (from "View", or clicking on an existing footnote number), it opens a window about 6 lines high.
