Troubleshooting footnotes
Hello,
I have browsed the archives but failed to find a solution to the following: 1) a footnote is present in a document; 2) it can be seen normally at the bottom of the page in Print Layout 3) however, instead of the reference mark in the body text, I see only a small hyphen; hovering over the hyphen shows the footnote text How do I make the reference mark fully visible, i.e. displaying the relevant number of the reference. In other documents, reference marks are visible, i.e. the problem is document-specific. Thanks for any ideas. |

Troubleshooting footnotes
It sounds as if a custom mark was used for that footnote. If this is Word
2003 (or earlier), choose Insert - Reference - Footnote..., and set the Number format for Footnotes to 1, 2, 3, ... In Word 2007, the same dialog can be found: in the Reference ribbon tab, click the Footnotes launcher (lower right corner of the Footnotes section of the ribbon... dialog launchers have an arrow pointing southeast). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Fiance" wrote in message ups.com...
