MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / August 2004Footnotes numbering after section breaks
Hello. I am working in a document with 5 chapters. Each chapter is a separate file. After the five chapters are merged, each of them will need to carry its own footnote numbering (starting from 1). I will need to insert section breaks after the end of each chapter and turn off the "same as previous" in each header/footer for each section to start renumbering the footnotes. Now, my chapters also have some landscape pages for which I needed some section breaks, right after those breaks occur, my footnote numbering will either restart from 1 (in the middle of my chapter) or will show a number as if I were using a continuous numbering for footnotes through the whole document. Any suggestions on how to get a continuous footnote numbering from the "previous section only" within a chapter, and not from the whole document? First of all, "Same as Previous" has nothing to do with footnotes, only headers and footers, so don't worry about that. But experiments with section numbering of footnotes has shown that when you have more than one section in a chapter, you may not be able to achieve the numbering you need. You can suppress footnotes at the end of a given section so that they will appear at the end of the chapter, but numbering will be a problem.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Elena, As Suzanne explained, the numbering issue may be insurmountable. Why do you need to merge the files? Perhaps there is another way to accomplish what you need without merging them.
