Thank you for the reply. I may not be fair to say you did not answer my
question. I still cannot insert a footnote with a number other than 1 in a
section in both Word 2003 and Word 2007. The footnotes dialogue box in both
is very much the same except for the colouring and removing the document
option in 2007. This dialogue box is more of a document options box. What is
done in it applies to the whole document and not from that point forward.

I wonder if Microsoft is planning to make this feature much flexible. With
the development cycle of Office from 95 to 2007 being in effect for over ten
years they should have done it by now. Why not they implement another
structure in a document? There is a Document and within the Document there is
a Section. Why not add a structure in between, like Chapter that consists of
sections?
