That will save trouble if the document is rearranged. I hope you'll find this helpful, although it is a mad-scientist's approach to using Ms.For a long document, it would be good practice to put a Continuous Section Break after each table, including the last one. "Usually" means unless you changed the settings for opening hyperlinks. Usually, you need to Ctrl-Click it to jump to the footnote reference, as you would to open any other hyperlink. On the other hand, when you reference a footnote, a hyperlink is formed where the reference is inserted, that points to the footnote reference (not to the footnote itself). Once in the footnote area, if you double-click (precisely) on the footnote number, the cursor (insertion point) should jump to where the footnote reference in the document is. Your click has to be precise as the footnote indicator is rather small and it is easy to mis-click. When you double-click on the footnote reference, you should be brought to where the footnote content is. You may also see a tool tip showing content of the footnote. When you hover over a footnote (or endnote) reference in the text, you should see an indication of that that, because cursor changes to something like a little index card.

Don't worry if this happens when you resolve all the changes you've been tracking (either by accepting or rejecting them individually), the numbering will come back in whack and you'll be happy with the results.Īnother note on navigating between footnotes or endnotes (no pun intended): If you have Track Changes turned on in the document, then copying, pasting, or moving footnotes results in an edit that is "tracked." The result is that your automatic footnote numbering can become messed up and seem all out of whack. There is an important point to remember if you are copying, pasting, or moving footnotes in this way, and that has to do with Track Changes. All you need to do is use Ctrl+X in step 2 instead of the noted Ctrl+C. If you instead want to move a footnote to another location in your document (or even in another document), you can use similar techniques. If you are using auto-numbered footnotes, all the footnotes in your document are renumbered. The footnote reference mark is inserted in your document, and the associated footnote is added to the footnotes section. Position the insertion point at the location where you want to copy the footnote.The footnote reference mark and the associated footnote are copied to the Clipboard. Highlight the footnote reference mark in your document.

If you have previously inserted footnotes into your document and you want to duplicate a footnote, you can use techniques you already know for copying regular text. Word implements a full-featured footnote system that allows you almost total control over where and how footnotes are printed.
