Hi.

I have a big document 150 pages approx, with roughly 30 or 40 pages of
images scattered around the document.

I am having big problems with footnotes - when I insert one it will give the
me the dialogue box, and then will jump to the end of the document - but
anything I type won't be visible.
When it does this it says repaginating or something in the bottom left bar.
I looked that up and apparently the fact that I have so many pics etc may be
effecting this repagination.
That still doesn't explain why it's placing them at the end of the document
(I have made sure that i have selected footnotes and not endnotes) and why I
can't view them.

Additionally some footnotes get generated in the wrong place, and sometimes
they disappear, after make changes earlier in the document, (?) or if I
shuffle things around, but leave the marker in the text.

I tried converting all footnotes to endnotes, and was able to view the notes
I had previously been unable to see. I tried converting back to footnotes and
the problem persisted.

To me this sounds like some corruption somewhere, I just don't know how to
fix it. I don't know if this is related, but I am also having problems
backspacing, the cursor won't move left on occasion.

I am using office 2002 on a vista home edition pc.

Thanks very much

Does your document by any chance consist of an extended table?

Erm... I'm not sure. What does that mean exactly?

Are the footnotes in a table that spans more than a page (specifically a
table row that spans more than a page)?

Or, if your graphics are wrapped, are the footnotes all clustered in one
anchor paragraph?

Nope doesn't look like it. Any other ideas?

All I know is we've had a raft of bizarre footnote problems lately.
