A quick way to do that is to click the Next Footnote button on the References ribbon. Let's add the footnote text, "All employment applications "are kept on file for 20 years." Let's go back to the first footnote that we entered. That's the same as the first footnote we created, but now this is the first footnote in the document, so it should be number one. Note that Word used number one for this footnote. I'll click there, and this time I'll use the shortcut key for inserting a footnote, alt + ctrl + f. We'll add a footnote at the end of that paragraph. Let's go back to the beginning of the document, to the section titled Employment Applications. Word will also renumber the footnote if you insert a footnote somewhere earlier in the document. Word will automatically keep the footnote at the bottom of the page in which the note indicator appears, even if you change pagination. "Office hours are subject to change without notice." That's all there is to it. If I double click it, Word scrolls down to the footnote text area. It's the number one, formatted as a superscript character. Let's scroll back up to see the footnote indicator in the text. Word places a numbered footnote at the insertion point, draws a line at the bottom of the page, places a matching number there, and positions the insertion point in the new footnote area, so you can enter the footnote text. Now click References, and then click Insert Footnote. In that section, click after the word Friday in the first paragraph to position the insertion point there. You can click Office Hours in the navigation pane to get there quickly. Let's start out by adding a footnote in the Office Hours section of the document. If it isn't showing for you, click View, and then turn on the Navigation Pane checkbox. If it's an endnote, word automatically puts it at the end of the document, or the document section. If it's a footnote, Word automatically puts it at the bottom of the same page that the reference appears, just where you'd expect a footnote to be. Just position the insertion point where you want the note reference to appear, click a button, set some options, and type in the text of your note. Its Footnote and Endnote feature makes it very easy to include notes in your long documents. I wish I'd had Microsoft Word back in those days. I can't tell you how many times I typed text too close to the bottom of a page for a footnote to fit, and had to retype the entire page again. All our term papers needed to be typed, and if that wasn't bad enough, most of them had to have footnotes. I imagine that, since Microsoft Word respects the references as footnotes (and it seems that is the case), there should be a way to easily renumber them, but it's not working, unfortunately.- I know I'm showing off how old I am when I tell you that when I was in high school we didn't have word processors.
#HOW TO RENUMBER FOOTNOTES IN WORD 2013 UPDATE#
It is becoming quite tedious to work with long passages and try to update the footnotes one by one. I understand why this is good and am not questioning the practice, but I am wondering whether this is a way to renumber the footnotes so that they make more sense in a standalone document, especially in the case where the excerpt is pasted into a larger work. Thank God, the export works well and the resulting document has the footnotes intact, but it seems that Logos is preserving the footnote numbering from the original book.
#HOW TO RENUMBER FOOTNOTES IN WORD 2013 MAC#
On my Mac running the latest versions of Microsoft Word (15.39) and Logos (7.10), I'm having difficulty working with footnotes in an excerpt that is exported from Logos to a Word document. Forgive me if this question was asked elsewhere I tried searching, but could not find any other discussion.
