The numbering starts over with each new section in your document. Word allows you to specify both a starting footnote number and whether You can change the way footnotes are numbered, however. Thus, if your document containsġ4 footnotes, they will be numbered 1 through 14. In Word, footnotes can be automatically numbered from 1 through the Set "Numbering" to "Restart each section".Set "Start at" to the number of the deleted footnote.The footnotes that follow skip over a number One theoretical solution is to delete the footnote itself without 'track changes' turned on, and then delete the body text, but I don't want to make it look like my work (even material which is deleted) isn't cited properly for obvious reasons. But at the same time, I want to actually have the footnotes in the article progress sequentially without jumping over numbers. Technically this isn't a problem except that I cannot yet "accept" the changes as I need to submit the edited article for publication with changes included so the editors can see what I've done to improve the article.
Ms word footnote numbering how to#
The issue I'm running into is more of a 'feature' than a bug but I'm not sure how to approach it: if I have text with a footnote that I delete, including the footnote, Word keeps that footnote number reserved (technically it is still there, just in a not-yet-accepted change) and thus the footnotes that follow skip over a number. I'm using MS Word's "Track changes" functionality to edit an academic article with a lot of footnotes.
