Footnotes. Having huge problems
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? -- Suzanne S.

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

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