WD97: How to Create Multiple References to the Same Footnote

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SUMMARY

You can number more than one footnote or endnote with the same number in Word by using the Footnote Reference field within a cross reference field.

MORE INFORMATION

Scientific journals generally require that all references to a source have the same footnote number. They also require that the footnote be printed only once for each source.

To number a footnote reference with the same number as another, use the following steps:

1. Place the insertion point where you want the cross-reference to appear.



2. On the Insert menu, click Cross-Reference.



3. From the Reference Type box, select Footnote or Endnote. Choose the footnote or endnote you want to refer to, and click Insert.



4. If you want the cross-reference to be in superscript like the original, use the following steps:



1. Show Field Codes by highlighting the cross-referenced item and pressing SHIFT+F9. A field similar to the following appears:
   
   {NOTEREF _Ref0123456789}



2. Place the insertion point between the final number and the closing brace.



3. Press the spacebar once, and type "\f" (without the quotation marks).
   
   The field will resemble the following:
   
   {NOTEREF _Ref0123456789 \f}



4. With the insertion point in the field, update the field by pressing F9.



5. Show the cross-reference by pressing SHIFT+F9.
