Hi,

I recently bought a new laptop with Vista Business, to which I transferred
all my old Word 2003 documents. One document (about 70 pages with 150
footnotes) is driving me crazy, as all of a sudden, all the footnotes got
scrambled. For example: 1) footnotes can appear several pages before the
actual reference to them (reference to f. 20 on p. 6, but the footnote text
itself already appears on p. 3), 2) groups of foonotes now occupy an entire
page(s), and although they appear in the right numerical order (1-5, for
instance), they are not located in the right place within the document. In
short, it's a huge mess. In addition, the formatting of the footnotes got
all ruined: the numbers are no longer superscript, the first line is no
longer indented, and so forth. I tried to fix this through styles and
formatting, but nothing I do seem to help. A virus check found nothing, and
again, this is a brand new computer (2-week old), and problems with the
document began on day one almost.

any ideas what could have gone wrong? I am at a total loss here...

thanks,
Amir Fink
