Footnote Reference Contains Trailing Space

Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q109834

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

If you insert a footnote in a Word for Windows document using AutoNumber numbering, the footnote reference number contains a trailing space which you cannot delete.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This problem was corrected in version 6.0a and later of Word for Windows. In later versions of Word, the white space is inserted as a regular SPACE character to the right of the footnote reference mark, which means you can edit or remove it if you want.

To obtain Word 6.0c, call the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 and request the Word 6.0c update.
