Thanks for a very quick reply. But ... how do you change the Footnote text
style? I see styles for Titles, Headings etc in the Style gallery, but nothing for Footnotes. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Modify the Footnote Text style. -- Suzanne S.

How do I change the font size for Word footnotes in a template
From your use of the word "gallery," I'm assuming you're using Word 2007. If
so, click on Options in the Styles window and opt to display All Styles (at least temporarily). Then you can find the Footnote Text style. In all previous versions, you can force the Style dropdown (on the Formatting toolbar) to display all styles by pressing Shift while clicking the arrow. Note that the Styles & Formatting task pane doesn't actually display *all* styles even if you select "All styles" (and Footnote Text is one of the ones not displayed). -- Suzanne S.

Yes I am using Office 2007 with Word 2007. Thanks very much. I was able to
follow your suggestion with no problem. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: From your use of the word "gallery," I'm assuming you're using Word 2007.

How do I change the font size for Word footnotes in a template
Hmm. I thought I had this all worked out, but I was wrong.
There was no "Footnote" in the style dropdown list. So I created one titled "Footnote". I thought all the footnotes would then adjust to the font size I had chosen. But they did not. Somehow I need to connect the style to the footnotes in my document but haven't figured out how to do that. Any ideas? Thanks for all your help! "Suzanne S.

How do I change the font size for Word footnotes in a template
A further note of clarification on how I got into the problem. I started out
using the Normal template. It automatically used a 10 point font for footnotes while the body of the text was larger. When I created my user Template, I changed the Title, Heading and Normal styles to what I wanted. But when I applied the new Template, the Footnotes changed also. So something is telling the footnotes what font etc to use, but I haven't been able to find what that is so I can change it. I thought my modified Template would to it but it isn't.

How do I change the font size for Word footnotes in a template
The Footnote Text style is "based on" the Normal style, so changing
the latter will change the former. On Jul 25, 6:40 pm, Gamer wrote: A further note of clarification on how I got into the problem. I started out using the Normal template.

No, there is no Footnote style. There are a Footnote Text paragraph style
and a Footnote Reference character style. As stated, it is the Footnote Text style you need to modify. -- Suzanne S.
