Footnotes and Endnotes Not Renumbered with Revision Marks On

 Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q106072
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Word 6.0 does not renumber the footnotes and endnotes when you delete a footnote if the Mark Revisions While Editing option is selected in the Revisions dialog box. (To locate this option, choose Revisions from the Tools menu.)

Word 2.x does not renumber the footnotes when you delete a footnote if the Mark Revisions option is selected in the Revision Marks dialog box. (To locate this option, choose Revision Marks from the Tools menu.)

This behavior is inconsistent with the behavior of other numbering features, such as heading and line numbering, which renumber when the Mark Revisions option is on.
