Windows 10: Problem with automatic numbering of footnotes in Windows 10. I am a subscriber, so have the...

Automatic footnote insertion works fine for most of the long document I am editing. However, at one point the numbering goes wrong, so I have the correct footnote indicators in the text, but they are incorrect in the footnotes at the bottom of the page: for example, in the text I have 31, 32, 33, 34, but the footnotes run 31, 31, 32, 31, 34.

Double-clicking footnote 32, in the footnotes, does not sent the cursor to footnote indicator 32 in the text. That seems to be where the problem originates.

Double-clicking all three footnotes 31, in the footnotes, sends the cursor to the same footnote indicator 31 in the text.

Another problem, which may well be related, is that a number of paragraph marks i.e. 'Enter' symbols have inserted themselves into the footnotes and will not allow me to remove them. I get a message saying 'this is not a valid action for footnotes'.

Can anyone advise me how to put this problem right?

Thank you in advance,

FH.

Footnote number in text too high

Some of my footnote numbers in the document (not in the footnotes) are sitting half out of the box. They are set in superscript like the other footnotes but are too high. Why is this??

 

I lost my Footnotes and the letters of one footnote became the footnote of other numbers

footnote number 125 was Rahner, Theological Investigation, 121. But the footnotes following 125 became R 127 a 128 h 129 n 130 e 131 r , like this. how to solve the problem. i had already typed all my footnotes.

 

Indent Footnote text (between the raised number and the body text)?


How to indent Footnote text (between the raised number and the body text) automatically?

I have word 2013, and I would like to insert an indentation 1.5 between the raised number and the text in footnotes (see figure 1)

Figure 1
1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When I go to "Footnote Text" style, and then paragraph to do the indentation, it moves the number and the text to the right (see figure 2). But I do not want this.

Figure 2
1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


If I use the hanging option, it only indents the texts below the first line (see figure 3)

Figure 3
1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have gone to "Footnote Reference" style, but the "paragraph" tab is locked. I cannot enter. Can anybody help me how to unlock it? Alternatively, how can I get the results I want (figure 1)

Thanks, M.
