Word version 6.0
In Microsoft Word version 6.0, you can select the starting number for footnotes. Word will then automatically increase the subsequent footnote numbers incrementally.

To specify a different starting number for footnotes:


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Section (ALT+T,S).
 * 2) Choose the Footnotes button (ALT+F).
 * 3) In the Numbering, Start At text box (ALT+A), type the number that will begin the footnote numbering sequence. Choose OK.

Word Versions 5.5 and Earlier
You can use another numbering scheme or number footnotes from numbers other than 1, but you must enter the numbers manually. Word’s automatic incremental increasing of footnote reference marks will work properly only if you accept the default numbering, which begins at 1.
