Multiple references to the same footnote ?
How do we put multiple references in the body of the text to the same
footnote? For example, three superscript number "3" 's in different paragraphs that all refer to the same footnote. We also want all three footnote references in the body to be re-numbered (updated) if another footnote is inserted before the third footnote. Can this be done? |

Multiple references to the same footnote ?
Thank you, Suzanne, this appears to be exactly what we needed. However, we
cannot get the cross-reference numbers to update after inserting a new footnote. We can right-click and update each one independently, but how do we force all the cross-references to update? Shouldn't this happen automatically and immediately by default? Thanks, Richard ************************ "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Peter, what advantages might bookmarks have over cross-referencing?

Cross-references unfortunately don't update automatically but should update
when you print, switch to Print Preview, or update fields generally. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Blue Max" wrote in message ...

The important point here, however, being that footnotes already have
built-in bookmarks (they're listed separately in the cross-reference dialog), so that you don't have to actually bookmark them. -- Suzanne S.

Multiple references to the same footnote ?
Thank you for the instruction on how this feature works. We have used
wordprocessors that also provide a feature that will update or refresh all the cross-references upon request by the user. For example, the user can refresh all references in Corel Wordperfect by selecting a menu option to 'generate' the cross references. In our opinion, this is an extremely effective approach to making sure the references are functioning correctly and displaying the proper information. Thanks, Richard "Suzanne S.

The sample update macro at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm added
to a toolbar button is a simple way of updating the fields in a document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Blue Max wrote: Thank you for the instruction on how this feature works.

Thank you, Peter. You are very likely correct. As a new user, I am not
familiar with this feature. Where is it found in Word 2007? Thanks, Richard ************* "PeterMcC" wrote in message ... Blue Max wrote in Thank you for the instruction on how this feature works.
