I have created a 21 page document using Word 2003 (11.5604.5606)
It consists of 11 pages I recently created with 4 footnotes, and a second
document that was created several months ago with 4 footnotes. I wished to
make the second document an Appendix of the first. I inserted the second
document after the first. That operation screwed up the formatting of the
second document (it was shifted to the right 2" for some mysterious reason.)
I finally was able to fix that with some work.
The other thing I want to do is to restart the footnote numbering so that
the footnotes in the second part (the appendix) start over at 1. I presumed
I had to make the appendix a second "section" to do this. So I created a
"Section Break (next page)" just before my second section.
According to the "help" (ha!) I am supposed to select from the menus:
Insert->Reference->Footnote
This brings up the "Footnote & Endnote" window.
Then help says to click 1 in the "Start at" box. It is already 1 but I
dutifully click it as instructed anyway.
Then help says "In the Numbering box, click the option you want. (Help does
not explain the options, but I see: "Continuous", "Restart each section",
and "restart each page." The "Restart each section" seems to be most
appropriate use so I select that one.
Help then says to click "Apply."
I do this and the Apply button highlights. Then I click Cancel to close the
window.
However, I notice that there is another part of the above mentioned window
that is not mentioned in Help, which is: "Apply changes to:" The choices
are: "This section", and "whole document". I have tried both settings (the
"This Section" seems to be the default) but nothing seems to change the
footnote numbers.
I have tried selecting the whole document before doing the above, and just
selecting the second section, all with the same results (nothing happens.)
I don't know how to directly edit the footnote numbers; when I try to change
them, I get a kind of warning window that has "Delete", "Options..." and
"Cancel". Delete will delete the footnote. When I re-create it, it still
has the original number. The "Options..." causes the same "Footnote and
Endnote" window as above to appear with the exception that the "Apply
changes to:" list now includes and additional "Selected Text" option. Since
the footnote number is selected...which is "selected text", I tried that
option, but still nothing happens.
So, Help!!!
