= SUMMARY =

When printing to a letter quality printer (for example, a daisywheel) from Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, the footnote separator and footnote continuation separator may not print; however, they appear correctly in Print Preview (Page Preview in Word 3.0x).

By default, the footnote separation lines are line graphics. This method is for use on printers that can print graphics, such as the ImageWriter and LaserWriter.

To print the separator lines, you can replace the line graphic with any character string that will print on your printer. To replace the line graphic with a character string, do the following:


 * 1) From the Document menu, choose Footnote, and click the Footnote Separator button.
 * 2) In the window that appears, highlight the line graphic and press BACKSPACE (DELETE on some keyboards) to delete it.
 * 3) Type a line of characters (for example, underscores) and close the window.
