I also would be (pleasantly) surprised; I had never thought about this
before, and pace the Chicago Manual, I do sometimes footnote headings: it's
not uncommon in the case of a footnote acknowledging the source of material
in a given section.

I guess it was because it was a "real" footnote. However, I was surprised,
and relieved, that this FootnoteReference style did the trick.

The Footnote Reference style should be applied to footnote references by
default. Was this footnote inserted using Insert | Reference | Footnote?

Hi,

You are right: A footnote should never be in a heading, however, the
user
insisted. But, finally, I found out that in the Styles panel, there's
a
style called "Footnote;Reference". I applied it to the footnote in the
heading and it did not show up in the TOC.

Doesn't that throw off the numbering of all the footnotes??

You could manually delete the footnote from the ToC (but it will
reappear each time you regenerate the ToC).

You could format it as Hidden.

You could show your user where the Chicago Manual of Style says that
footnotes are NEVER hung from displayed material (such as headings).

Hi,

A user here insists in adding a footnote to a heading; then, same
heading is
part of the TOC, along with the footnote number. How can I hide the

number in the TOC?

Thanks!
