unnumbered footnote?
It's quite usual for a journal article or book chapter to have an
initial unnumbered footnote containing acknowledgments. Is there any way to do that in Word2003? I tried starting footnote numbering with 0 (which I could subseqently color White or mark Hidden), but the start number must be between 1 and 64K+. (Which suggests, incidentally, that there's a limit to the number of footnotes a document can have.) I tried inserting a Continuous Section Break (so as to restart footnote numbering in the second section), but if the first section contains a footnote, the second section starts a new page. |

I think you're fighting a losing battle there, and it's time to cheat. Put your "unnumbered footnote" in a textbox anchored in one of the first paragraphs and drawn to the width of the text. Apply the Footnote Text style to the text in the box. In the Format Text Box dialog, set No Line and No Fill; on the Layout tab, click the Advanced button. Set the text wrapping to "Top and bottom", and set the vertical position to Bottom relative to Margin. Uncheck "Move object with text" and check "Lock anchor". If there is a numbered footnote also on the first page, drag the text box upward to clear the real footnote. Trying to put it below the footnote doesn't work very well unless you also suppress the footer on the first page (in File Page Setup Layout, check "Different first page"). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

unnumbered footnote?
Use a "custom" footnote. These are outside the numbering scheme for ordinary
footnotes. Usually you'd use this to create a footnote with an asterisk or the like, and you can still do that (many articles actually use an asterisk for the purpose), but if you don't want any reference mark at all, just use an asterisk (or anything else) and format it as Hidden both in the text and in the footnote. -- Suzanne S.

unnumbered footnote?
It hasn't been that long ago that I learned you could intersperse "custom"
footnotes with numbered ones. It works well if you want to use numbered footnotes to document sources and use asterisks and daggers for content (another approach is to use endnotes for source documentation and footnotes for substantive notes), or I suppose you could use them for tables (though I prefer to do those manually and put them in the merged bottom row of the table). -- Suzanne S.

unnumbered footnote?
I am incredulous.
For some philological applications, there need to be two sets of footnotes on each page, perhaps numbered and lettered, or numbered and asterisked, and they can't be interspersed but have to be in separate clumps. The text box thing would probably have to be used for that. As for table footnotes, I got used to having them in FrameMaker but in Word I do them in a paragraph under the table (Keep With Next before it), use Numbering on the style to label them a., b., etc., and then do a cross reference from the text in the table title or table cell. You think I could do custom footnotes there instead? Wouldn't they go to the bottom of the page like regular footnotes? On Jan 22, 10:03*pm, "Suzanne S.

unnumbered footnote?
Yes, they would go at the bottom of the page. If you have full-page tables,
this would probably be okay, but, as I say, I make them part of the table itself. As for clumping the footnotes, you could fudge this using the workaround described in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...panColumns.htm (putting the footnote reference where it needs to be in order to "clump" the notes, making it hidden, and using a cross-reference to the footnote number where you want it to show). I would foresee a lot of problems as documents were repaginated, though. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...

unnumbered footnote?
It depends a lot on what their newsreader does automatically. Outlook
Express automatically top-posts, and for this type of thread I usually find that more satisfactory because I don't want to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the quoted material to find a reply that may be very short and often looks like part of the quotation because it was typed in a quoted blank line. But I like to keep the quoted material below for later reference. -- Suzanne S.

FWIW, I prefer top-posting too. But sometimes, especially in (relatively)
long posts, I find it convenient to reply "in line," so that I can directly answer the poster's questions and make comments on particular parts of the text. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

unnumbered footnote?
If you make your table footnotes a literally part of the table, you
have to use Merged Cells, and they tend to interact badly with columns that might need to be resized (don't even think about moving columns involved in a Merge!) --- Yes, I can see how the procedure described in your article would work, and that repagination would be a problem, though I wonder why anyone would want to put page-wide footnotes under columns.

Yes, I can see how the procedure described in your article would work,
and that repagination would be a problem, though I wonder why anyone would want to put page-wide footnotes under columns. It isn't so much that you want to put page-wide footnotes under columns as that you want to put page-wide footnotes on a page that is mostly single-column but has a double-column section that just happens to contain a footnote. See "Section break causes an unexpected page break in Word" http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292074 As for table footnotes, I rarely have them, and I usually add them only when editing is complete, but what I do to deal with merged cells of this nature when it's necessary to resize columns is temporarily split the table, make the adjustment, then rejoin. -- Suzanne S.

It works well if you want to use numbered footnotes to document sources and use asterisks and daggers for content (another approach is to use endnotes for source documentation and footnotes for substantive notes), or I suppose you could use them for tables (though I prefer to do those manually and put them in the merged bottom row of the table). -- Suzanne S.

Usually you'd use this to create a footnote with an asterisk or the like, and you can still do that (many articles actually use an asterisk for the purpose), but if you don't want any reference mark at all, just use an asterisk (or anything else) and format it as Hidden both in the text and in the footnote. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ... It's quite usual for a journal article or book chapter to have an initial unnumbered footnote containing acknowledgments. Is there any way to do that in Word2003? I tried starting footnote numbering with 0 (which I could subseqently color White or mark Hidden), but the start number must be between 1 and 64K+. (Which suggests, incidentally, that there's a limit to the number of footnotes a document can have.) I tried inserting a Continuous Section Break (so as to restart footnote numbering in the second section), but if the first section contains a footnote, the second section starts a new page. |
