Mismatched Footnote Numbering
I am using Word 2007 and having difficulties with a document I'm editing for
someone with over 300 footnotes. I am not tracking changes and am working with the document in the Final View. My problem is: as I'm moving working the document, the superscripts marking a footnote are not matching the numbering of the footnotes displayed at the end of the page. For instance, a sentence will read: blah blah blah.32 But, the footnote will read: ______________________________ 34. blah blah blah footnote The numbering at the bottom of the page is correct as I add and delete footnotes, but the numbers on the superscripts within the document are incorrect. How do I correct the numbering within the document? Thanks. |

Mismatched Footnote Numbering
[footnote numbers wrong with "Track Changes"]
Hi Mischa, Neither turning off "Track Changes" nor switching to Final View fixes the numbering issues. You'll have to accept all changes. I'm surprised that the numbers in the text are different from those below in the footnotes. I thought "Track changes" would just mess with both equally (so you'd see footnotes numbered out of order, both up in the text and below). But then I don't work with footnotes and "Track changes" often. Regards, Klaus |

Mismatched Footnote Numbering
Hi Klaus,
I've tried this several times and it has not resolved the issue. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm afraid I may have to retype the entire document (90 pages) to erase whatever formatting problems other authors have placed into the document.

Hi Mischa, Maybe the authors overtyped Word's footnote references. The macro below will delete and reinsert all footnotes... That should fix *that* problem (if that is the problem that is g). Re-typing sounds drastic. You can remove all formatting (Ctrl+A to select everything, Ctrl+N to apply Normal style, Ctrl+Q to remove paragraph formatting, Ctrl+Spacebar to remove character formatting). Then you can apply proper formatting. Regards, Klaus Sub RepairFootnotes() Dim myFootnote As Footnote Dim i For i = ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count To 1 Step -1 Set myFootnote = ActiveDocument.Footnotes(i) myFootnote.Range.Copy myFootnote.Reference.Select myFootnote.Delete ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Selection.Range Selection.Footnotes(1).Range.Paste Next i End Sub |
