Hilda - 29 Jan 2004 17:00 GMT

I removed all footnotes from document and later started
re-entering new footnotes. When I entered the second
footnote, it numbered it incorrectly as 7. For some
reason, it is still recognizing my previous footnotes.
How do I remove all previous footnotes. I already tried
the Search (for footnote mark) and Replace (with blank)
but still having problem with renumbering my footnotes.

Please help.

G'day "Hilda" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com>,

you could use VBA to address this.

Public Sub KillFootnotes()
with ActiveDocument.Footnotes
While .Count >0
.item(1).delete
wend
end with
End Sub
