How do I turn on the "footnote continued on next page" feature?
If my footnote is to long for one page and it continues on the next page, I
do I indicate this? In WP there is a continued feature that puts "footnote continued" at the beginning of the continuation. Is there a similar feature in Word 2007? |

How do I turn on the "footnote continued on next page" feature?
You can define a "Footnote Continuation Notice," but I don't necessarily
advise it because it has problems (don't remember exactly what they were since it's been more than ten years since I experimented with it). Usually it's pretty obvious that a footnote is continued, especially if it breaks in the middle of a sentence. This is also indicated by the presence of the Footnote Continuation Separator on the next page instead of the Footnote Separator. If you insist on doing it, though, switch to Draft view and click on Show Notes. This opens the footnote pane. There's a toolbar with one dropdown list, one of the items on which is the Footnote Continuation Notice, which you can have say anything you like. -- Suzanne S.

How do I turn on the "footnote continued on next page" feature?
The only time that would ever be used is if the footnote is broken at
some point that suggests it's complete as it reads on the first page (for instance, if the carryover happens to start a new paragraph), and even so it would be odd. If you _must_ have such an indication, why not type it in? But as you've already noticed, a continued footnote by default follows the ordinary typographic practice of a rule (a line) all the way across the page, versus a short line above the footnotes on any other page. If you want to mess with it, Suzanne has explained how. On Jul 25, 2:33 pm, slgentile wrote: If my footnote is to long for one page and it continues on the next page, I do I indicate this?
