I put my doc together section by section, and then chapter by chapter using" insert" function. Each chapter starts with new footnote 1. Now because I am making changes to one whole chapter it creates another problem (doesn’t matter what - it is unavoidable) and I am redoing the same section multiple times. I need to do a smaller section (not the whole chapter) at a time and retain continuous footnote numbering.

So I need to undo each section in my document while I make changes and put it together later. Also I am sending it by email to a proof-reader and I want to send off a few sections at a time, so better if the footnotes can follow on.

I can’t remember how I cut out sections and repasted without losing continuous footnote numbering. (maybe I never did). If I do it by cut and paste my footnotes return to number 1. (as we know)

Is there a better way of doing it than redoing each page by restarting at the last footnote number from previous section? I lost a few bits of info off my footnotes so I have another copy I refer to which has been useful. So would really like continuous numbering.

Anyone have any advices please? Looked in various tutorials but can’t find answer. Maybe I am not asking the right question. Aldo I tried taking the last footnote line from previous document but it still started at number 1
kind regards

In theory, footnotes can be set to restart in one section and be continuous
for the rest of the sections (which I think is what you are trying to
accomplish), but this doesn't work—unless it has been fixed in Word 2013,
which I have not yet tested. The settings in the Footnote and Endnote dialog
box apply to *all* sections (all continuous or all restarted).

As a workaround, consider mixing footnotes and endnotes to create a separate
sequence of numbers.

Hi Stefan

I read a post about working with seperate chapters starting at footnote 1 each time. As far as unhooking goes I managed to alter the document as it is . It meant a lot more work and I kept having to alter the footnote tab but it was easy enough. Just a lot of work.

I will keep sections seperate from now and only put them together when I send it to the typesetter. Or she can put them together which I think is better. Decided to stay with footnotes and the typesetter can undo the footnote seperator as she goes so so she can capture them. I just hope the new macro I did in word for altering the way they are displayed holds. She has worked with footnotes before so I presume her clients removed the seperator. She can put them on the right page. It may take longer, and more expensive, but solved my problem with staying with footnotes.

Many thanks

You mean that you are keeping sections as separate files? That is sometimes
helpful.

If the typesetter accepts PDFs, bringing the separate files together after
you have converted them to PDFs (using freeware PDF converter, for example)
might also be a possibility.

I'm not sure how footnote separators are relevant, but, reading the thread
in a newsreader, I don't get the full context ...

Yes sorry. Thought we spoke about this before. My typesetter showed me how she can only pick up text without footnote in her design package and said that I would have to remove the footnote line. At the time I thought this was not possible, and started looking at endnotes that I didnt want. However it is possible for her to pick up the text including footnotes if she removes the seperator. I just didnt want her getting things mixed up and I thought it would be a lot more expensive. If she does a section at a time she should be ok. Anyway that is not relevant to this topic. Shouldnt have mentioned it.

But you do know how to delete the footnote separator in a Word document?
