Renumber footnotes
I created a Word 2007 document by copying and pasting several smaller Word
2003 documents into one large document. Each of the smaller documents had several footnotes in it. When I combined all the documents together, the footnote numbers in the large document are discontinuous. I accepted all changes, deleted and recreated various footnotes, but nothing worked. Any advice how to renumer all the footnotes in the new document? |

Renumber footnotes
Hi Naomi,
It seems to me that you copied section breaks into your new document. It this is the case, the footnote numbering that you are seeing is a result of the fact that the footnote numbering in each section is independent of the footnote numbering in the other sections. You can solve this problem by removing all the section breaks or by resetting the footnote number in each section. If you want to use the latter approach, perform the following steps: 1) Place the cursor in the first footnote that has the wrong number. 2) On the Reference tab, in the Footnotes group, click the dialog box launcher (the small diagonal arrow in the lower right-hand corner of the Footnotes group). 3) In the Footnotes dialog box, in Start at, type the number that you want the footnote at the cursor to have. 4) Click Apply. 5) Repeat these steps for the next footnote that has the wrong number. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "Naomi" wrote: I created a Word 2007 document by copying and pasting several smaller Word 2003 documents into one large document.
