Change Footnote Defaults
Word XP/2002.
I've got a custom template. I want to force footnotes to restart numbering for every section. Can I set that up as the default for this template? Lady Dungeness Crabby, but Great Legs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open the document as a template, via File | Open, and then set the desired
restart option for footnotes. The chosen setting will then be used for each document based on the template. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message news  Word XP/2002.

Thanks again, Stephan. I did it! The only hard part is navigating to where the Templates are. It's like those little
wooden Russian dolls -- always another one inside.

Word 2007 has the Templates folder on the Places Bar to start with, but I
have found it very worthwhile to put it there in Word 2003. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA wrote in message ... Thanks again, Stephan. I did it!

I'm glad you got it sorted, even though I reversed the order of "document"
and "template" in my reply ("open the document as a template" which of course should read "open the template as a document"). :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...

Thanks for the suggestion. My Places Bar is full but your idea made me think creatively. Doh! I decided to put a shortcut
into the folder where I'm working on these documents. :-) Thanks! On Tue, 6 May 2008 13:24:39 -0500, "Suzanne S.

Although the Places Bar is not infinitely expandable, do you realize that:
1. You can resize the Open and Save dialogs? This makes the Places Bar larger. 2. You can use Small Icons in the Places Bar? This allows you to have more. 3. You can move icons up and down on the Places Bar? Even the ones that are not visible (below the dialog) can be accessed via the arrow, and you can move things up and down as their frequency of use changes (and you can move the ones that MS includes and won't let you remove to the bottom of the list). -- Suzanne S.
