As an MVP, my influence with Microsoft is limited, actually. I do agree that
there should be a good introduction to vBA. There is a brief intro at the
http://word.mvps.org site, but it is a bit outdated; that is true...
Anyway, thank you for your kind words! :-)
By the way, which thread were you referring to? The one below?

Ok thanks Stefan. I will look at it, But the Footnote Continuation
Separator?
I wasnt aware of it so I will have a look. The typeseter said to change
it to a line. I didn't think I could. I will try this.
You will see I responded to the topic "changing footnote to a number by
changing macro "at microsoft community. (I see you are also a member). A
thread I started and someone else wanted info on.
As a result I have a real problem and I may have to post again so I
hope someone can help once I recreate the problem and I can explain it.
I will continue to try and sove it but I think it is a unique problem
caused by changing my global template. My user name ends with 999.
Thought you should know. Dont want to misrepresent.
Thanks for your time again
Stefan I did reply to you at Microsoft site re the topic "Cant change
footnote number from superscript in footnotes" but it doesnt seem to
have made it onto the site.
Wow looking at my posts in the past I must have been under stress
judging by my typing. I just want to say thank you for your help on word
banter and Microsoft. You gave me a lot of assistance on the topic
“Can’t change footnote number from superscript in footnotes” My username
was Diana_9999
I am a little bit clearer on how macros work but at first it was so
overwhelming to an intermediate level user. Yes you were right about the
extra code and nobody else pointed this out when they sent me to the
article on how to perform this task, although acknowledged that you were
correct.
It would be a real help if a new article could be written by Microsoft
themselves and show step by step screenshots for users like myself or
better still to write this function in the next version of word. I had
several people refer me to the only article dealing with my problem that
must be over 10 years old and no longer correct. Do you have any
influence with Microsoft? It appears you and others on the forum are
doing part of their job.
Stefan you and all the others on this site and Microsoft are wonderful
with your time and patience. I have looked at a lot of material on
creating and working with macros but there never seems to be an example
that fits your situation and it is difficult to grasp. I am not good
with technical concepts and reapplying them to other situations.
Isn’t it about time Microsoft supplied comprehensive online interactive
videos or tutorials for new and intermediate users, even at a price. I
have messed up big time and want to try and get out of this rather than
rely on the goodwill of others who have given me their time. It is
difficult to assist people with elementary knowledge. I have tried to
get one on one training in the things I want to know but no one will do
this as it is not economical. I actually paid someone to implement the
code for superscript problem. He gave me step by step screenshots and I
couldn’t have done it without them. I have looked at lots of resources
but none seem to explain the concepts in simple language.
Thanks so much
