[LovableNoobie]

I want to be able to cite a single footnote several times, but each time I
put a footnote in Word it makes a new one. Is it possible to make Word
understand that I want to refer to an existing footnote, not make a new one?
For example, if I have a list of items and I want to make a footnote comment
that refers to some of those items I should be able to put the comment once
and then put the same note reference mark after each subsequent item to which
the comment applies.

Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to Footnote Number (formatted). But it
sounds as if what you need is a references list rather than footnotes; see

Why do you say that? What Lovable describes is not uncommon. (Though
probably more common with table footnotes than with general ones --
does 2007 provide for table footnotes, BTW? I got used to a workaround
of putting a numbered paragraph in the bottom row with cells merged,
and inserting a cross reference to its number (actually a letter, of
course).)

Reading too quickly, I read Lovable's "list of items" as describing a
reference list.

Any good news on table footnotes? FrameMaker wins again!

there is not much in Frame I wish Word could do (as well). In any case,
_table footnotes_ has never been of any concern to me (and I've
paginated a lot of scientific papers in my time). Who needs tf anyway
....? And even if, SEQ fields are setup quickly enough ...
