missing footnotes
I have a question about the compiling of a single document from multiple
documents. I've created eight documents, representing eight individuals chapters of a manual. Some of the chapters have been revised and so noted by a footnote. When I compile all of the chapters by using the "Insert" key after each chapter, the "Revised" footnote does not appear. However, when I use "Copy & Paste" after each chapter the footnote does appear. Why the difference? |

What version of Word?
This is a footnote created by using Insert | Footnote in Word? On 3/31/05 5:33 AM, "fmara" wrote: I have a question about the compiling of a single document from multiple documents.

Okay, you're not talking about a footnote at all but a footer (View |
Header/Footer). If you really want a footnote, you need to use Insert | Reference | Footnote. If you really want this note in a footer, then you need to have a separate section for the pages where the given footer appears, and you need to unlink it from the preceding and following sections; see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.

And how was the footnote created?
I created the footnote by clicking on "View" and clicked on "Header/Footnote" Well, there you go then. That's not a footnote, that's a footer. Check what you did again, you'll see. And this page will answer your question about why the difference: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Format...thSections.htm And this page will explain about footers: http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HeaderFooter.htm Footnotes are those little tiny raised numbers (superscripted numbers) that direct one to the place where the information was found, also known as references or citations.

Thanks for your help. I still don't know why Insert doesn't print out the
"Revised" footer when single documents are combined with other documents. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Okay, you're not talking about a footnote at all but a footer (View | Header/Footer).

Thanks Dalya, I'm still not sure why each document with "Revised" is not
printed when combined with other documents to create a manual, but is printed when "copy and Paste are used. "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: And how was the footnote created?

Have you inserted section breaks so that you have a separate footer for the
page you want that footer on? -- Suzanne S.

My apologies--I sent you the wrong link. This one explains the difference:
