Editing a document that has a 1 for the 1st footnote, but a 4 for the 2nd footnote (and 5 for 3rd, etc.). I need to alter the numbering for 4 to 2, and have the remaining numbers follow suit. Was hoping this process would work akin to the Continue numbering feature, but alas, no luck. Can anyone explain to me how I can accomplish this? Thanks.
PS- right clicking on the 4 footnote and selecting Define New Number Format>Number Format: replaced 1. with 2. doesn’t seem to work b/c the OK tab field is greyed out. Also, selecting the drop down Footnote and Endnote box, Start at: change 1 to 2 had the bizarre effect of creating a two page gap between the text before the footnote and that after (and didn’t even change the 4 to 2)…basically, it had a bizarre effect.
