I've just noticed what something about footnote styles that I find confusing and am wondering if anyone has an explanation. The "Footnote reference" style appears to be used for two situations. (1) for the inserted numeric reference inside the body of the document, and (2) for the matching numeric reference inside the footnote pane. What's confusing to me is that the font size in both instances is different, yet they are both defined with the same style name. Furthermore, if you modify the "Footnote reference" style definition by changing the font size to say 9pt, this then seems to change not only the font size of the reference number in the body of the document, it also changes the font size of the reference in the footnote pane. I'm wondering a couple of things: (i) why doesn't the footnote reference in the body of the document have its own style name and definition separate from that of the footnote reference in the footnote pane? (ii) Assuming there's a good reason for using the same style name for both situations, how does one adjust the style definition of one situation without affecting the other? Thanks for any help with this. Lloyd I regularly have to troubleshoot documents with over 350 footnotes. I've noticed that footnote reference style different in text to footnote pane version

- 1. Convert a form with drop-down list to text without the box around
I need to convert a Form document to text while maintaining the formatting but without the "strange" box that appears around every drop-down list. I can remove the shading and can also convert the whole document to plain text but lose the heading and sub-heading formatting. Is it possible to do? - 2. Copying the full path of a document
The web toolbar is gone! How does one copy the full path of the current document in Word 2007? - 3. How can I unzip a folder? I can't open it now!
This was a word document into which I was inserting photographs. When I deleted some of the photographs, the whole file disappeared except for one remaining photograph! In my documents I have found the title of the file but I seem to have zipped it! - 4. Problem saving text as UTF-8
Hi everybody, I need to save a Word document as text, UTF-8 encoding, so certain symbols will show up. It needs to be read into a program later. For some reason, though, when I save as UTF-8, a little gray box appears before the first character in the preview window where you see if the encoding is right. It looks like it's a non-printing character of some kind, because I don't see it in the text file, but it's definitely there because it messes up the program I have to use. It looks like when you save in UTF-8, this character is put in to start the file even though you don't see it. Is there any way to get rid of this weird character? Thanks, Jezzica85

You are correct that the same style is used in both text and notes. Why, I haven't a clue--I think separate styles has been requested, but has not happened thus far. So, no, you can't change the style definition for one without affecting the other. I think the most efficient way to deal with this is, at the end of editing the doc, to do a Find and Replace. Say you want the note numbers unsuperscripted--you can put the cursor in the footnotes, use the More | Special menus to enter footnote mark in the Find box, and leave Replace empty but format the box as not-superscript. Replace All will only do the notes, if the cursor starts in the notes. That's just one example--there's lots of ways to tweak that depending on needs. You may also be interested in this link: I want the numbers in my footnotes not to be superscripted, and I want the numbers to be followed by a dot and a tab http://www.**--****.com/ The Footnote Reference style is a character style, and it is defined as "default paragraph font plus superscript", so if the default paragraph font is different in text and notes, then the footnote reference will look different.

2.Connecting footnote text style to footnote reference style
If you are working in a document that has more than one footnote style attached to it, the Footnote Reference style picks one of these as a default to use for the text of the accompanying footnote. If you want to use a different footnote text style as the default (one that is already attached to the document), how do you change the default? There does not seem to be any provision in the style modification window to indicate which of the footnote text styles in that document the Footnote Reference style should use. I don't want to have to delete the other footnote text styles from the document, I just want to tell the Footnote Reference style which footnote text style it should pick. Any ideas?

4.Space between footnote reference and footnote text
Hello, Is there a way to change Word's behaviour so that a non-breaking space is inserted after the footnote reference (between reference and footnote description/text) instead of an ordinary space? Since the footnote format we use is justified the space between footnote reference and text sometimes varies (since word spaces in general varies with justified text). We don't want that. We're ok with varied word spacing in general, but don't want the space between the reference and the text to vary. I suspect I need to rewrite Footnotes.Add somehow but I don't know how to do it. Thanks in advance, Joakim Andersson Sweden
