How do I insert a footnote with continuous numbering?
I have a document that every time I try to insert a footnote anywhere in the
document starts the numbering over again instead of doing it continuously. I have tried everything...any suggestions? |

How do I insert a footnote with continuous numbering?
Take a look at this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...165141033.aspx Should be helpful. It sounds like you have new sections starting with each page and your page numbering format set to start at 1 for each new section. You can click on the "Insert" menu and then "Page Numbers..." sub menu to open up the Page Numbers dialog window. Then click the "Format..." button to open up the Page Number Format dialog window and check the "Page Number" section at the bottom half of that window. You'll want that to be set to "Continue from previous section" to get the results you're looking for. --John www.FastWordHelp.com "JK" wrote: I have a document that every time I try to insert a footnote anywhere in the document starts the numbering over again instead of doing it continuously.

How do I insert a footnote with continuous numbering?
Page numbering has nothing to do with footnote numbering. You have to set
the footnote numbering to be continuous, not "Restart each section" or "Restart each page." You do this through Insert | Reference | Footnote: Numbering. But note that if the document was imported from WordPerfect, you may have additional problems. -- Suzanne S.

How do I insert a footnote with continuous numbering?
Yes, I have the footnote numbering on continuous to be applied to the whole document, but it still restarts numbering every time. I have removed all section and page breaks and still no luck. It will number consecutively starting at one even if I put one footnote on page 1 and another on page 99, so it's not starting over throughout the document, it's just that the entire document is almost being treated as a new "section". What would the problem be if it is imported from WordPerfect?? |

How do I insert a footnote with continuous numbering?
Recent versions of Word seem not to deal well with footnotes in WP docs.
Although in some ways they behave like "real" footnotes, the numbering just doesn't work right; that is, if you insert new footnotes between them, they don't renumber, and the new notes don't get the right consecutive number. The only solution, unfortunately, is to create new footnotes in Word, paste the content of the "fake" footnotes into them, and then delete the "fake" ones. -- Suzanne S.
