Footnotes sometimes don't appear
I have a law clerk who is inserting footnotes into a Judge's memo. He is
using 07 btw and running it on Vista. Most of teh time, ti works fine, but occasionally within the same document he will insert a footnote, type in some notes and nothing shows up. If he then opens up the footer section, it shows up there, but once he closes that view it dissapears again. As a test, we printed it and the footnote showed up .. but why does this only happen some of the time? He is working in Print layout view, and if he changes to full screen reading, he can view but not edit. Very confused and would appreciate some advice, Thanks much |

The document might be corrupt. Try the following:
Exit Word, then locate the normal.dotm template (search for it in Windows, making sure to include hidden files and folders in the search), and rename it. When you restart Word, a fresh template with factory default settings will be created. In the problem document, delete any section breaks, and then copy the contents, except for the final paragraph mark (Ctrl+A, Shift+Left arrow, Ctrl+C), and paste (Ctrl+V) into a blank document.
