After relocating a footnote #17 in doc I now have a gap with no #17. After
all efforts to renumber sequentially, a gap remains (even if converted to A,B,C letters instead of numbers) and even if converted to endnotes instead of footnotes. Is there imbedded code for phantom #17 that I can remove to restore consecutive numbers? |

Do you have Track Changes enabled? If so, numbering will not be straightened
out till you accept the changes. If not, did you move the footnote by dragging or cutting/pasting the footnote reference mark in the document (which is the correct way to do it)? -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for suggestion on Track Changes, but still no #17 footnote when Track
Changes disabled. And yes, I did move #17 by dragging reference mark in doc (not by working in footnote text. Is there a type of "reveal codes" command that will show me possible phantom code that I can remove to restore proper sequence? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Do you have Track Changes enabled?

You can set Footnote as your Browse Object (or use Go To: Footnote) to see
if the search stops anywhere that doesn't appear to be a footnote. If you haven't already done so, be sure you have Hidden text displayed. -- Suzanne S.

![]() Ok. I'm having the same problem in a document I'm editing. I've found where the "phantom footnote" is located in the text. However, I can't remove it. I can't select just it and delete it. I've tried deleting a chunk of the text around it on both sides, but that doesn't seem to update my numbers. From reading here and elsewhere, I know what caused it. But I haven't seen anywhere how to fix it. -- jjohn30 Posted from - http://www.officehelp.in |

![]() Nevermind. I was POSITIVE that I didn't have track changes on. But ... after posting and out of desperation I checked. And yup. It was on. Accepted all changes and now my numbering is correct. -- jjohn30 Posted from - http://www.officehelp.in |
