SUMMARY
You can number more than one footnote or endnote with the same number in Word by using the Footnote Reference field within a cross-reference field.



MORE INFORMATION
Scientific journals generally require that all references to a source have the same footnote number. They also require that the footnote be printed only once for each source.

To number a footnote reference with the same number as another, follow these steps:

 Place the insertion point where you want the cross-reference to appear. On the Insert menu, click Cross-Reference. In the Reference Type box, select Footnote or Endnote. Choose the footnote or endnote you want to refer to, and click Insert. If you want the cross-reference to be in superscript like the original, follow these steps:

 Show Field Codes by highlighting the cross-referenced item and pressing OPTION+F9. A field similar to the following appears:

{NOTEREF _Ref0123456789}

 Place the insertion point between the final number and the closing brace.</li> Press the spacebar once, and type "\f" (without the quotation marks). The field should look similar to the following:

{NOTEREF _Ref0123456789 \f}

</li> With the insertion point in the field, update the field by pressing F9.</li> Show the cross-reference by pressing OPTION+F9.</li></ol> </li></ol>

Additional query words: cross reference duplicate
