Adding Footnotes in a pre-existing document (Word 2010)

I have a document that was already typed and cited.  All of the citations are in footnote format.  In addition, the document is divided into sections, and the footnotes restart at each new section. 
Now for my dilemma:  When I go into the document and make changes, then try to add a footnote for those changes, it is almost as if the previous footnotes didn't exist (at least not as footnotes anyway).  For example: if I make a change to the
section 1 of the document between footnotes 3 and 4, then add a new footnote, it would be assumed that the new one would be inserted between 3 and 4, it would become #4, and that the rest of the footnotes after that insertion would go up by one.  What
is happening instead, is that it does insert itself between 3 and 4, but it labels itself as #1.  Moving forward in the document, pretend that the next change I make is in section 2, between section 2's footnotes 5 and 6.  Again, it would be safe
to assume that the new footnote should be the new number 6, and all the rest in the section would bump up by one.  Instead, it inserts itself between 5 and 6, but becomes #2 (since #1 was in my example back in section 1) instead. 
Is there anyway to make it conform to the prescribed footnote numbers that are already in the document?!?  Help!  Thanks!

Are you sure they're: (a) footnotes and not endnotes; and (b) not ordinary text that just happens to look like footnotes (as will be the case for documents saved from a PDF)?
For (a), assuming the footnotes have been corrupted, see:
http://www.msofficeforums.com/word-vba/16610-repair-two-interspersed-endnote-numbering-schemes.html
Note that you'll need to temporarily convert the footnotes to endnotes to use the macro there.
For (b), see:

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro adding a blank page on conversion from Word 2010

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help.  I'm converting a Word 2010 document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.5.4).  On conversion to PDF, a blank page is being added, throwing the entire report off.  In word, there is a Section Break (Next Page) at the end of the first page, and the text continues on the second.  On conversion, it is after this section break that the blank page apears (i.e., between pages 1 and 2 of the document).  I've been back and forth through the document, tried to use a Continuous Section Break instead (Word just converts it to a page break again), making sure there's only one break, etc., and cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello,

  • Inserting an image as a header in pre-existing documents...

    Hi all!
    Firstly hello, as this is my first post... hoping someone can help!
    I've been tasked with rebranding all our company's course materials to reflect our new logo. Most of the materials were created in a Word template, with the logo added as a header on each page. These were then converted to pdfs and combined into packs using Acrobat.
    What I'd like to do is replace the company logo in each of the pdf packs (most of which are 2-300 pages) without having to go back into Word and reconvert everything. This could easily be done by creating a graphic with a white background and pasting it over the top of the old one - is there an easy way to do this for all pages simultaneously within Acrobat Pro? I'm running version 9 btw.
    Many thanks...

    Making the changes in Word is really the best option. If you've added interactive elements in Acrobat that you want to preserve, you can simply replaced the old pages with the new and links, bookmarks, buttons, media, etc. will be retained.
    An alternative is to add a watermark in Acrobat. Set it so that it is placed on top of the other page contents. The new logo will then hide the old, but it won't replace it. More info is in Acrobats help doc.

  • Preview screwing up fonts in pre-existing document

    Preview is wreaking havoc with pdf documents by substituting fonts and deleting characters from the beginnings of occasional lines. This substitution takes place on saving a file after collecting together, or removing, unwanted pages.
    The pdf files are all from other machines -- some created by me, most from various authors and publishers -- and all have embedded fonts that display without problems at first. Almost none of these fonts are installed where this problem occurs so this issue may differ from the other font problem threads.
    On the other hand, maybe it has the same root cause because Acrobat Pro is now complaining about some files too, sometimes that it cannot extract the font, and replaces body and footnote characters with periods. Somehow the large characters survive with 'only' a typeface change.
    Typically it will be the headers and a few bits of the footnotes affected. All in the same typeface, and often substituted into something like Univers bold but with the same spacing as the original font, making it not just unpresentable but also illegible.
    Is there perhaps a save or font encoding preference that needs to be re-set?
    These files opened and edited just fine not long ago, in both Preview and Acrobat Pro.

    Exactly the same thing has just started happening to me, in the last two days. Except the files are not all from other machines.
    I just spent 4 hours doing an archive and install on the system. Reinstalling what I thought were damaged fonts. Then removing and reinstalling Acrobat. And even removing Suitcase, which can do random odd things from time to time.
    After all the detective work... it seems the problem is with Acrobat. But I don't have a solution for you. I'm tearing my hair out. Can't create invoices for clients!!

  • How can we move our existing documents into iCloud?

    So far I've been presented with the option to save files into iCloud (textedit and the like). How can we take our existing documents (Word, Excel, TXT, PDF, etc) and store them in iCloud as well? Short of individually opening each one and saving in iCloud...

    iCloud is not intended for general file storage. (It is not iDisk.) It's also not organized the same way. Each application is responsible for interfacing with its own documents in iCloud; Word and Excel do not have the function encoded.

  • Conversion of Microsoft Word 2010 to PDF-Links not working in the PDF

    I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Operating System and Microsoft Word 2010. There is a particular word document(Word 2010) that I need to convert to PDF.I did a "save as" and stored it as a PDF. But the issue in the PDF is that the links in the "Table of Contents" do NOT work. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.2.Please let me know how could I do the conversion and how can the links work correctly

    Adobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
    Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same.

    Hi,
    According to your post, an error occurred when you used the custom Documents Library(List Definition using sandbox solution).
    Please check whether you have removed <ContentTypeRef/> in the <ContentTypes/> tag of Schema.xml file in your project.
    Here is a sample about list definition deployed as a sandbox solution, you can take a look at:

  • Adding a character into a pre-existing filename; Bridge CS5.1

    I would like to know if it is possible  to add a character or in my case a ( Character & a Space ) in-between an already  pre-existing sequential number
    For example,
    1301 Filename.jpg - - - - -> 13 01. Filename.jpg  ( Added a ( Space ) inbetween the two numbers, and placed a ( Period ) aswell.
    I would like to do this action to a group of files using the Batch Rename Feature; inside of Adobe Bridge CS5.1
    Is this possible? Is there a work around?

    I understand how string substitution works, you are misinterpreting the question.
    I would like to change the number sequence from.
    1301 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 01. Filename.jpg
    1302 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 02. Filename.jpg
    1303 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 03. Filename.jpg
    1304 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 04. Filename.jpg
    1305 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 05. Filename.jpg
    As you can see I would like to ( Add ) Characters not replace. the characters being a ( Space ) and a  ( Period )
    But if there is a way to replace all of my sequence numbers together, that would be a viable option aswell.As of now I am not aware of a substitution command that will get rid of say a four digit combonation of numbers no matter what the actuall numbers
    That last sections of what you copy and pasted states there may be commands ( Expressions ) to replace filename patterns, but I am not aware of any specific commands ( Expressions ) I must type inside of the text bar to achieve the affect I am looking for.
    Any pre-existing help on Expressions?
    They are foreign to me and I would like to study the information for future use.
    I will be searching Google, if by chance I come across information pertaining to this subject, I will let you know. As of now any help is much appreciated.
    Ok I have figured out how to get rid of the string of numbers by using the Regular Expression of [0-9] but,
    I still do not know how to add a ( space ) inbetween the numbers without doing it all manually.
    Regular Expressions is the answer to my question, but now I have a new question. Which Regular Exresion do I use? It seems like it will take quite some time to get a good understanding of Regular Expressions, is there anyone who has a fair amount of knowledge on the subject who is willing to assist me in the mean time?

  • Adding a single page to pre-existing website

    I currently have a website running on Amazon S3 and want to add a page to the domain using Muse and do not want to replace the pre-existing website.
    Example:
    Current web address:
    subsite.mywebsite.com
    Desired address of Muse-created site:
    subsite.mywebsite.com/musesite.html
    subsite.mywebsite.com does not need to be modified in any way—my clients just need to be able to access musesite.html via a link using my brand's domain. Can this be accomplished using BusinessCatalyst provided hosting? If so, how can I accomplish this?

    Hi Joseph,
    You need to create the page in Muse and then export the html to a local folder on your computer and then upload the exported content on the root folder of your existing business catalyst site. You will not be able to use the web forms with this approach.
    If you can host the site in a sub directory, then you can create the page in the Muse and then publish directly to a sub-directory on the root, this way you will be able to use the web forms.
