Deleting a footnote
In Word 2000, I am attempting to delete a footnote. I can delete the index
number (or I can delete the index number and characters to either side of it), which is the way that one normally delete footnotes, but that doesn't delete this footnote. Yet if I try to delete the footnote directly, I will get the typical error message to the effect that such an action is not valid for footnotes. Also, holding my cursor near to the footnote index shows the footnote, so I know that this is a "real" footnote that should be deleted by deleting its index number, but this doesn't appear to work. I could kludge around this problem if it was just a document that had a few footnotes that I was just going to print and send, but this is a document that is being shared with dozens of people, where they use it to make suggested changes. It needs to be free of stupid little work-arounds. Any good suggestions? |

Deleting a footnote
My previous post was not complete. The problem here is that I am using
underlines & overstrikes to show changes. The problem is that, when I delete the footnote by deleting its index mark (as I should) that it does not show the footnote below as being overstruck. If I "accept" everything, then the footnote and the footnoted text goes away, but it otherwise shows up with no indication whatsoever that it has been deleted. Is this one of those things where, "that's not a bug, that's a feature"? |

Deleting a footnote
Yes, I am tracking changes. The problem is that I want the reader to look at
the document and have their attention called to the fact that the footnote has been deleted. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you tracking changes?
