Default Problem when deleting footnotes

I have a very big document with lots of footnotes and many authors. Now,
when editing, there are problems with deleting footnotes. When deleting the
footnote reference mark, this does not delete the foot note text at all while
it does appear as if the footnote reference mark has been deleted. In fact
the little icon which hovers when over a footnote reference mark simple seems
to attach it self to the next text somehow nor does the numbering automatic
numbering change.

Any idea how this can be sorted with out just one person attempting to redo
all the footnotes again?

unfortunately yes, is there a way to fix it despite the track changes? Too
many people are editing the document. If no way to fix it with track
changes, how can we fix it, is there a way?

You won't see final results until you accept all the changes, I'm afraid,
but if you view the document in Final view, you should see what the results
will be.

Thanks Suzanne, I tested it out and it works out. We just have confusion
until the track changes are accepted.

cheers
