Footnotes
I cannot insert footnotes in Normal View. After placing the cursor where I
would like the footnote number to appear I access InsertReferenceFootnote. Once the dialog box appears I select footnotes and click on insert - at this point the cursor should (I believe) move to the footnotes pane (which is now visible). This does not happen and I cannot click in it either. The footnotes pane is completely in accessible. Is there a hidden setting I am missing, or am I missing something simple? TIA Sandy |

That is were the cursor should be. What happens if you press the Tab key,
or just start typing anyway? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Footnotes
Hi Doug
In Normal View the focus should move to the pane at the bottom of the screen after "Insert" is clicked. In my case it remains where the number is inserted. If I type immediately after clicking "Insert" in the Footnotes dialog box then it simply adds text to the document. The superscript number remains in place. I cannot click in the footnotes pane at all. I can insert footnotes in Print Layout View, but not in Normal View?? Sandy "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Footnotes
OK, that was a long shot. Sorry, I do not know of any setting that would
cause that behaviour, unless it might be something to do with Right to Left Language Support as comes with a number of Asian Languages. .. -- Hope this helps.
