Adding new footnotes to old Doc starts new footnotes and doesn't do continuous
Help!
I have a user here that has a large document with 187 footnotes. She needs to add some new footnotes, and when she does the normal "InsertReferenceFootnote" and leaves it on continuous, it starts a new footnote at 1, ignoring the current footnotes, and then doesn't even put it in superscript. It just puts it in normal text. Any ideas on how to get it going continuous again? Win2ksp4, Office 2003 James |

I have no idea to be honest. Is there anyway to tell? Is there anything we
can do to convert it besides someone retyping in all 189 of them? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you sure the old footnotes were inserted using Insert | Reference | Footnote? -- Suzanne S.

footnote with never any problem until today using the | Insert | Reference | Footnote. J Pilet wrote: I have no idea to be honest. Is there anyway to tell?

I can't begin to speculate what the problem could be from your description,
but I'd be willing to take a look at a *small* sample. -- Suzanne S.
