= SUMMARY =

When using a style sheet to format footnote reference marks, the text before the reference mark occasionally appears formatted in the same style as the reference mark.

= MORE INFORMATION =

There are two methods available for formatting a footnote reference mark with Word versions 3.x and 4.00. One is direct formatting via speed formatting keys or the Format Character menu. The second method is to use automatic or style sheet formatting.

To automatically format a footnote reference mark, you must create a style that uses the “Footnote Ref” style variant. For more information on the use of a style sheet to format footnote reference marks, see Pages 235-236 of the “Using Microsoft Word” version 4.00 manual or Page 187 of the “Using Microsoft Word” versions 3.x manual.

In either case, if you insert a footnote and then decide to add more text preceding the reference mark, you will find that the added text will take on the formatting of the reference mark if your cursor is positioned on the reference mark while you type. Either enter the text, highlight it, and press ALT+SPACEBAR to set the character formatting back to standard character, or position the cursor to the left of the footnote reference mark prior to entering the new text.
