Word 2007

When I use an abbreviation such as ABC, I insert a footnote to explain what
ABC means. This is footnote 1. If I use the ABC abbrevation again on the
page, I want it to refer to the same footnote. But on the second usage of
ABC, if I insert a footnote, Excel makes the abbrevation ABC refer to
footnote 2. I want it to refer to footnote 1. I haven't found a way to
change the 2 to a 1. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tyro

Instead of a footnote, use Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to "Footnote
number (formatted)."

Sorry, Excel on the brain. I meant Word

I was hoping so, since I was unaware that Excel had footnotes!
