FOOTNOTES

[Brittany]

I'm trying to do Chicago style citation which requires footnotes. I have been
unable to figure out how to do a different footnote for every page. It
automatically carries over the ones on the first page. How do I change them
on every page?

Are you saying you want to restart the numbering of footnotes on each
page at 1?

What you describe sounds like a footer (as in headers & footers),
which has nothing to do with footnotes.

 

[Brittany]

No.

For example, I want page 1 to have footnotes that cite one author. Page two
should cite a different author. However, when I type a footnote in page one
it automatically copies it to page two.

That suggests that you have created the footnote as a footer instead of a
footnote. Use Insert | Reference | Footnote to insert footnotes.

 

[Brittany]

Ahhhhh duh. That was it, thank you!!!

You're welcome. The distinction between footer and footnote, header and
heading is extremely important in Word!

Hi Suzanne, Dennis here.

I'm doing a free information seminar for graduate students and am wanting to
tap into an on-line tutorial about the Reference/citation function. Does one
exisit? I have not found it yet. Any clues?

Thanks

There has been plenty of discussion of the subject (and the
unsatisfactoriness of the feature) in this NG, but I don't know of any
online tutorial or manual, no.

YouTube contains several videos demonstrating the tool (e.g.:

is pretty good)
