inconsistent footnote format
I am working with a 600 page document that has abou 1000 footnotes. The
footnote formatting is inconsistent throughout the document. While I've been able to clear formatting and thereby make the font uniform, some of the footnotes contain the number followed by a period and a tab and then the footnote text, and other footnotes just contain the number followed by the footnote text. For example: 3. footnote text 4 footnote text Is there any way to automatically change the footnote styles to be the same? |

inconsistent footnote format
Some of the MVPs may have better suggestions, but I would suggest that your
problem is obviously in formatting your footnote text. I am not sure what you mean by saying you were able to clear formatting. If you have already confirmed the correct format settings in the style for Footnote Text, (the issue sounds like the Paragraph setting for whether or not to indent the first line) I would make sure you do not have a checkmark for Automatically Update. Then I would open the Styles window and select all the footnotes (put your cursor into a footnote and press Ctrl+A; this should select them all). With all the footnotes selected press Clear Formatting in Styles. This step should remove any individual formatting in particular footnotes that may override your Footnote Text style. With all the footnotes still selected now click Footnote Text. You should now have the same consistent formatting for all the footnotes. It worked for me when I tried it, but I have no documents anywhere near the size of yours. If this doesn't work, sorry for wasting a few minuts of your life-- wait for more learned help "katieo8" wrote in message ... I am working with a 600 page document that has abou 1000 footnotes.
