Footnote problem
I used to have Word 2000. In it, when I pointed mouse to a footnote
insertion (a superscript number in a text), a small flag and then the footnote text would appear in a small window, which was quite a convenience. Recently, I have installed MS Word 2002 on my Windows XP Home SP2. Now, when I point mouse to a footnote, all I get is a flicker and no text or anything. Is this normal for Word 2002? Did Word 2002 abandoned this footnote option? Is there a way to get it back? Any assistance is appreciated. -- Ilya Zeldes Fort Myers, Florida |

Ilyaz,
It's a known problem, I seem to remember Suzanne Barnhill reported it can be solved by clicking on the icon next to ¶ in the standard toolbar, I don't know it's exact name as I am working in a Dutch version. In any case you can recognize it quite easily it looks like a little magnifying glass hovering over a peace a table. Luc "ilyaz" schreef in bericht ... I used to have Word 2000.

It's the Document Map. Yes, this is the very bizarre solution to the
problem. You have to turn the DM on and back off once per document per session. This problem (which is documented in "WD2002: Footnote ScreenTip May Not Be Displayed" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318865) is corrected in Word 2003, BTW. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you, Suzanne and Luc, for your advice. Sure, it works fine!
Ilya P.S. Suzanne, have you seen my post (just above this one) about language bar problem? Do you have any solution for it? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... It's the Document Map.

Sorry, but I am totally ignorant about the Language Bar.
