Thanks!

Works great. Thanks!

Hey thanks! That fixed it.

That fixed it. Thanks.

I figured out what was wrong. In this particular document, the spaces before the foot note marks were non-breaking spaces. I just did a search for nbs, replaced with nothing, and they were gone.

Thanks, I’ll try it.

I turned on “Set Precision as Displayed” and the numbers started displaying correctly. But why is there a warning when you make this change that “data will permanently lose accuracy”?

Yes, the values in column F are calculated. The value in F is the value in C x .007 (a screenshot with the formula is attached). If Excel is not rounding up the figures in rows 4 and 6 (2.695), what’s going on in row 8 (6.6325)? It’s giving 198.14 as the result of 204.78 minus 6.63, while in row 10 191.30 minus the same 6.63 equals 184.67?

No, the formula for Find/Replace didn’t work. But your advice to add a space after the two digits will make changing all these easier.

I guess I’ll live with the bugginess. Thanks.

Experiment with the dropdown at the bottom of the Styles and Formatting task pane. In particular, select Custom. If the styles you use aren’t ticked there, they won’t be listed in the task pane.

My footnote styles are listed in “available styles” but not in “styles in use.” The problem is that I can change styles using the Styles and Formatting Pane by highlighting text, then clicking on a different style, but if I go back and highlight that style I changed Word thinks its Normal style. In fact, according to the S&F Pane, everything is Normal. This behavior only shows up with footnotes in Normal view. In Print Layout view, the S&F Pane will properly identify the style of any footnote text highlighted, but I still can’t “select all instances.” That function is grayed and says “Not currently used.” I thought this might have been because the document in question came from a client and was originally a Word Perfect file, but I get the same behavior if I insert a footnote into a new document. The S&F Pane in Word thinks all footnote styles are Normal style.

First entry in what?

A table.

Thanks Hans!

Oops. My table was there. I thought I had named it something other than the genreic “mailing list.”

Thanks. Let me ask you this: per the Chicago Manual of Style, footnotes and endnotes should be numbered with a full sized number followed by a period. Word never heard of the Chicago Manual of Stlye, so it makes the note numbers superscript. This is all right for note markers in the text, but not for the notes themselves. Is there a way to change the way Word formats these numbers?
