There are also some (international) footnote numbering styles that
aren't
directly available from the dialog, but bracketed numbers aren't
among them
:-(

Some styles that are possible...

1., 2., 3., ...
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=5

Circled numbers (up to 20):
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=wdNoteNumberS tyleNumberInCircle
or
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=18

01, 02, 03, ...
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=22

-1-, -2-, -3-, ...
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=57

You can type the line of code in the immediate VBA window (Alt+F11,
Ctrl+G).

Regards,
Klaus

hope that someone can come up with a macro. If you know some VBA
yourself, perhaps you could modify the macro given at

I saw this on a document and don't know how to re-create it.

The footnote reference in the text reads "(1)"..then at the end
of
the page
the footnote reads "(1)blahblah"..when I create a footnote I only
get the
number not the formatting.

Thanks in advance...
