Word XP footnotes won't renumber

[dp]

I have Office Xp and I have created 30 foonotes in a
document. I want to delete footnotes 7-14. Normally, when
I want to delete a footnote from the body of the text and
also delete it from the footnote area of the page I just
go to the footnote in the body and delete it and it
automatically deletes it from the footnote area as well.

I deleted the footnotes this way and they were deleted
from the body and the footnote area but for some strange
reason (no virus found) the renumbering of the footnotes
did not work. So what you see in the footnote area is
footnote 6 and then it goes straight to footnote 15. Why
is it not renumbering all of a sudden???

I tried to copy and paste the text into a new document
with no luck. I also tried the document on a machine
running MS Word 2000. What is even stranger in Word 2000
is that all of the footnotes 7-14 show up in the footnote
area and all of the footnotes except for number 7 show up
in the body of the file. Isn't that weird that the same
file would have 2 sets of issues on 2 different versions
of MS Word. Basically what I need to happen is for THe Xp
version of the file to renumber footnotes automatically
after I remove any footnotes. Help Please.
