Custom formatted footnotes/endnotes
Hello everyone,
Have an issue with footnotes. Need to know if there is a way to create a custom format for them. We need a something like this: ____ 1 ____ footnote text. with _ being spaces. Is there such a way to do this in Word? Thanks, Jeff. |

Custom formatted footnotes/endnotes
You can modify
(http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html) the Footnote Text style to include the relevant left (or first line) indent. For the space after the number, set a tab stop or a hanging indent (depending on what you want). Then you would have to make use of the following macro to insert your footnotes: Sub InsertFootnote() ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range With Selection .Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters(2) = "" .InsertAfter "." & vbTab .Collapse wdCollapseEnd End With End Sub The macro is based on one presented in this article: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...scptFnotes.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jeff Mathewson" wrote in message ...
