Even-Numbered Footnotes Dropped Converting Works 3.0 Document

PSS ID Number: Q154016 Article last modified on 08-14-1996

7.00

WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you convert a Works for Windows 3.0 document to Word 7.0, all even- numbered footnotes are lost; the odd-numbered footnotes are converted to endnotes.

NOTE: By design, the Works for Windows converter converts footnotes to endnotes.

= STATUS =

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= WORKAROUND =

To work around the problem, open the document in Works for Windows and then save it as Rich Text Format (*.rtf). When you open the document in Word 7.0, both the odd and the even footnotes will be displayed.
