MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2006Footnotes have disappeared
I have an essay, which contains footnotes. All the footnotes are as they should be i.e. a number next to the word in the text and the appropriate footnote at the bottom of the page. However, the last four footnotes only display the number - there is no footnote at the bottom of the page. Yet the footnote exists because when I hover over the footnote number, it tells me what the footnote should say. Also if I double click on the number it doesn't take me to the footnote text. I have tried to insert more footnotes but it simply inserts a number and doesn't direct me to enter the footnote text! Please can someone help!!!! Possibly some corruption in the document; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm. I recently looked at a document that had similar problems. In that case, the footnotes were visible in the footnote pane but not in Print Layout view, and they were not printing. The problem in that instance, however, was that the footnotes were in a table, and it was necessary to split a row to resolve the problem.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Yes the footnotes that aren't displaying correctly are in a table! Sorry I don't understand what you mean by splitting the row or how to do it!?!? >Possibly some corruption in the document; see >http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm.

In the case I described, the footnote where the problem started was in the last line of a row. Although the row was set to be allowed to break, it wasn't breaking, nor was it moving to the next page. Because the row contained just two cells, one of them empty and the other containing more than one paragraph, it was possible to split the row into two cells. This allowed the bottom cell to move to the next page, which solved the problem. Apparently Word got caught in a loop trying to decide whether to go or stay and ended up making a wrong decision.
