When Multiple footnotes (or endnotes) are added in the
body at the same location Word inserts them like
this: "1234" (but superscripted). I can add superscripted
commas and spaces to make it look like this: "1, 2, 3, 4".
However most journals want them to appear like this: "1-
4", but when the numbers "2" and "3" are removed the
footnotes (or endnotes) are also removed. Is it possible
to display the links to the notes with a dash without
removing the notes themselves?
Thanks, bendz

bendz,
How about formatting the 2 and 3 as hidden text?

Thanks Greg,
You rock! Hiding the numbers works great! I love simple
solutions.

This must be done manually but is easy enough. Insert all the footnotes as
usual. Don't bother to put spaces or commas between the footnote reference
marks; just pile them up 1234. Then insert an en dash after the 1 or before
the 4. Select 23 and press Ctrl+Shift+H to format them as Hidden. The
footnotes (and their reference marks) will remain, but only "1-4" will
display or print.
