Separating Footnotes
I have added footnotes to my document but want to add another footnote NEXT
to one that is already there. putting a comma between them doesn't seem to separate them at all and each time I go to look at them only the first one comes up. This is probably a stupid question, but should I redo both footnotes or what? -- JK |

Separating Footnotes
Are you saying that the ScreenTip doesn't display correctly? That I can
certainly reproduce when two footnote references have been inserted very close to each other. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JK" wrote in message ...

Separating Footnotes
If you type some spaces before you insert the second footnote, you'll
know they're not getting melded together; once both footnotes are showing up properly, delete all the spaces but one (turn on Show Non- Printing Characters to be sure you get that right), and then type your comma before the space. (If it doesn't inherit the Superscript style from the footnote number, select it and press Ctrl-Shift-+.)

Separating Footnotes
Thanks for replying.
As of right now, I have them separated by a single space AND I can view them if the arrow is on one side for one and the other side for the other. Hope that made sense. In other words, if the arrow sits to the left of the first footnote number it shows that one, when it sits to the RIGHT of the other number it shows that one. Would I necessarily HAVE to put a comma between them? Because the document is a family tree report and isn't going to be graded or anything. -- JK "grammatim" wrote: If you type some spaces before you insert the second footnote, you'll know they're not getting melded together; once both footnotes are showing up properly, delete all the spaces but one (turn on Show Non- Printing Characters to be sure you get that right), and then type your comma before the space.

Just think of the reader ... you don't want them hunting for note 34
when you just want them to look at notes 3 and 4! That's what the comma does. Me, I find it annoying that notes show up as screen tips whenever the cursor gets anywhere near them, but I keep screen tips turned on because they're useful elsewhere.

That's true, then I guess I will put a comma in between and make sure it
matches with the numbers. My genealogy software could create the report automatically but I like doing them myself, that way I can add the footnotes since they are pretty much notes on what research I've done or that needs to be done. -- JK "grammatim" wrote: Just think of the reader ... you don't want them hunting for note 34 when you just want them to look at notes 3 and 4!
