= SUMMARY =

If a footnote has been defined with the Footnote command, but the reference number does not appear to be superscript, check the Footnote Reference style (in Define Styles) to make sure it has not been redefined to exclude the superscript formatting. This may inadvertently happen when Footnote Reference style is changed to a different font.

If the Footnote Reference style still includes superscript, click somewhere else within the paragraph that contains the reference mark and note the style name in the style box at the bottom of the screen. If the name listed is “Footnote Reference,” Apply and/or OK was clicked instead of Cancel when the style was redefined (to change the font). Clicking Apply or OK applies the Footnote Reference style to the entire paragraph, not just the reference mark; the whole paragraph becomes superscript.

To correct this problem in Word do the following:


 * 1) Apply the Normal (or other) style to the paragraph containing the reference mark.
 * 2) Select the reference mark.
 * 3) Choose Footnote from the Document menu to redefine the footnote.

Note: This procedure will not work in Word version 4.0. For more information about changing the footnote reference, query on the following words:

Microsoft is aware of this limitation. This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
