Endnotes start at 1 but: Start At must be between 1 and 16838.
When trying to insert a footnote or endnote, a message comes up saying that
the Start At number must be between 1 and 16838. The Start number is 1. Somebody please help! |

This sounds like some form of document corruption.
Try copying the contents, except the final paragraph mark, into a newly created document. To see the paragraph marks (¶), click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/CorruptDoc.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "maggs" wrote in message ...

Thanks Stefan. I tried your suggestion, and the suggestions from the link you posted, but it is still doing it. It seems to be OK until I delete the section breaks in the doc.(there are 247 of them in a 219 page document!) But I have to delete them in order to have breaks only at the end of chapters, so the footnote numbering starts at 1 again for every chapter. Any more ideas?

Did you try to delete the section breaks before copying into a new
document, and then recreate them in the "repaired" document? By the way, why do you need so many section breaks? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "maggs" wrote in message ... Thanks Stefan.

Hi Stefan,
I don't need that many section breaks - it's actually someone else's document that I am editing for them. I don't know why they put all those sections breaks in! Anyway, I finally managed to fix the document by following your advice - taking the final paragraph mark out when I copied it into a new document, so THANK YOU very much!!! It was a great relief. I don't know why it didn't work the first few times I tried it - maybe I was so stressed out that I was doing it wrong...!

Glad you got it sorted!

If the document started out in WordPerfect, that would account for all the
section breaks. You would be doing the other person a favor by removing any that aren't needed. -- Suzanne S.
