Footnotes (1)

[HT]

WindowsXP
Word2003

I saw this on a document and don't know how to re-create it.

The footnote reference in the text reads "(1)"..then at the end of the page
the footnote reads "(1)blahblah"..when I create a footnote I only get the
number not the formatting.

Thanks in advance...

You can clear the superscript attribute from the Footnote Reference
character style. However, there is no built-in way to add leading and
trailing text to footnotes. You could add them manually (by typing) or
hope that someone can come up with a macro. If you know some VBA
yourself, perhaps you could modify the macro given at

There are also some (international) footnote numbering styles that aren't
directly available from the dialog, but bracketed numbers aren't among them
:-(

Some styles that are possible...

1., 2., 3., ...
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=5

Circled numbers (up to 20):
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=wdNoteNumberStyleNumberInCircle
or
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=18

01, 02, 03, ...
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=22

-1-, -2-, -3-, ...
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.NumberStyle=57

You can type the line of code in the immediate VBA window (Alt+F11, Ctrl+G).

Regards,
Klaus
