= SUMMARY =

At the end of a Word version 5.00 document, two endmarks (diamonds) may appear rather than the usual single endmark. This indicates that text in the document has been formatted for footnotes or annotations. The text for the footnotes and/or annotations normally appears in the space between the two endmarks.

To delete the extra blank lines and remove the extra endmark, place the cursor in the blank line(s) between the endmarks and use the Jump Footnote or Jump Annotation command. This method takes the cursor to the area in the text of the document that has been formatted to have an annotation or footnote.

There is a number indicating the footnote or annotation in that area. When the number (footnote or annotation reference number) has been deleted, the blank line(s) at the end of the document will disappear. When all of the footnotes and annotations for the document have been deleted, the second endmark will also disappear.

Using Word version 5.50, use Edit, Go To (ALT, E, G) and select Footnote or Annotation to get to the point in the text that has been formatted for a footnote or annotation, then delete the reference number.
