WD2000: Spelling/Grammar Not Checked for Custom Footnote Text

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you perform a spelling or grammar check or both of a Word document that contains custom footnote reference marks, Word does not flag a misspelled custom footnote reference mark.

CAUSE

This functionality is by design and is a change from earlier versions of Word.

MORE INFORMATION

A custom footnote reference mark can contain a single word up to 10 characters in length. However, if you use a word as a custom footnote reference mark, Word does not check the spelling or grammar of the word.

To insert a custom footnote reference mark, do the following steps:

1. Position the insertion point in the text where you want to place a footnote.



2. On the Insert menu, click Footnote.



3. Under Numbering, select Custom mark, type in the custom footnote reference mark you want to use, and then click OK.
   NOTE: You can also use a symbol as a custom footnote reference mark. In the Footnote and Endnote dialog box, click Symbol. Select the symbol you want to use, and then click OK.

The custom reference mark is too long.
