SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Word cannot restart the footnote numbering at 1 for each section
of a multiple-section document if the footnotes are compiled at the end of
the document.
WORKAROUND
To achieve this effect, follow the steps appropriate for your version of
Word.
Word 6.0
Follow these steps:
- Begin with a multiple section document (created manually or by merging
more than one document with a new one).
- On the Insert menu, click Footnote.
- Click the Endnote tab.
- Click Options.
- Under Place At, select End Of Section.
- Select the Restart Each Section check box.
- Move to the next section and repeat steps 2-6.
- On the File menu, click Save As and give the document a different
name.
- In the Save File dialog box, select Text Only.
- Close and reopen the Text Only file.
Scroll to the end of the new document. All of the footnotes of each
section will appear in one compiled list with their proper numbering
for the end of each section.
- Reformat the footnote numbers with superscript and decrease the font
size of the footnote text to 10 point if necessary.
- Copy the entire section of footnotes to the Clipboard.
- Open the original document, scroll to the end of the document, and
Paste in the footnotes.
- Open the Footnote Window of the original document by pressing
COMMAND+OPTION+F.
