Deleting a Footnote
In my document, I have footnotes.
I am trying to delete a footnote. So I go in the doument and delete a footnote. Footnote is deleted from the doument, but it stays in the footnote window. Ex : if I have deleted footnote number#11. the footnote window still shows the footnote and now when I try to put another foot note in the same place i deleted the footnote, the new footnote gets numbererd #11 and the old footnote that should have been deleted gets new number12. Can you please advise how to correct this problem. |

Deleting a Footnote
If you are tracking changes, the footnote will not be permanently deleted
until you have accepted all the changes. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "ub" wrote in message ... In my document, I have footnotes.

Deleting a Footnote
No, this does not ordinarily happen provided you delete the footnote
properly, by deleting the reference mark in the body of the document, which it seems the OP has done. -- Suzanne S.

Can you please advise how to correct this problem. I believe this is a Word bug - that a footnote, once created, is immortal even if deleted and empty. Just ignore it - AFAIK it does no harm. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |

Deleting a Footnote
Worse, if you _move_ a footnote while tracking changes, it insists on
keeping the numbering of the "deleted" copy _and_ a new number for the "inserted" copy. On May 7, 3:44*pm, "Suzanne S.
