Hi

I'm currently using Microsoft 97, and continue to encounter a problem
with setting the paragraph formatting to a preferred or default setting
(ie, left indentation, right indent, etc). I also encountered this
problem using Office XP, so the problem is clearly me (although note
that it only happens with footnotes - the main text paragraphing
remains configured as desired).

Basically, I also want to automatically set or configure my footnotes
to the desired setting, but I have to manually adjust each footnote
individually. Generally speaking, I leave most askew until I do a
'select all' function and align the mess after the fact, but would
prefer not to have to do this indefinitely.

Any suggestions welcome.

thanks
Michelle

These items have styles, Michelle. Have you tried formatting (modifying) the
style, and then choosing the "add to template" option?

thanks very much Anne - that seems to have worked.
