Footnotes with different numbering
Law Professors want to create articles with footnotes that are numbered
randomley depending on what section of a case they are quoting. So the numbering could be 1, 2, 9, 11, 4, 5, 6, 22, 24, etc. How can I accomplish this? I have tried section breaks, and custom marks and nothing seems to work. HELP!!! |

Footnotes with different numbering
Are there actual footnotes associated with these reference numbers? If not,
just add the reference numbers as plain text. Or, if they refer to a reference list at the end, use a cross-reference to the paragraph number of the numbered item. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, these are actual footnotes with a footnote number in the text of the
article and a footnote number in the footnote section at the bottom of the page so plain text would not work since they need to refer to the footnote. "Suzanne S.

Footnotes with different numbering
I have never heard of using footnotes that don't have consecutive numbering;
I don't believe this is realistically possible in Word. -- Suzanne S.

Footnotes with different numbering
Well, you know lawyers, they think outside the box. I did find a way to do
this. You have to do it while you are creating the document. When you need an odd numbered footnote, Use the Custom option in footnote numbering, leave it set to continuous and whole document and you can number them any old way you want or even use symbols. thanks for your reply to my initial request and your followup, this is the first time I have posted something and actually gotten a reply.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm amazed that this works, though; I'll have to
experiment with it. -- Suzanne S.

Footnotes with different numbering
We've met this trick before, for a different purpose--Word allows you to
have two separate series of notes, *if* one is autonumbered and the other is custom. It can be quite handy. (Also, it sounds like the lawyers just need to duplicate a note that exists within a quotation--that's why the numbering is weird, for accurate reproduction of the quotation) On 12/1/05 10:37 AM, "Suzanne S.

Footnotes with different numbering
In instances such as you cite, I always do the quotation footnotes manually,
inserting the footnote immediately beneath the quotation rather than mixed in with the other footnotes in the document. -- Suzanne S.
