Convert all footnotes font and number style
I have a Word doc with footnotes. To meet persnickety requirements of a journal, for all I need to change the font/size and change the numbering from superscripted number to non-superscripted number ...
As you suggested, in draft view I tried removing the superscript then selecting the first footnote, format painter, then selecting the remaining footnotes. That does change the numbers but unfortunately it also clears the other formatting, especially italics, which are heavily used in the editorial style. Since I will have to edit each one anyway, is there a keyboard shortcut to un-superscript?
Actually I just realized that I could record a macro to un-superscript and add the period, so I am set. I don't have a footnote style in the styles list on the home ribbon. Is it somewhere else? It's unfortunate Microsoft didn't make restyling footnotes (including number format) easier.
cormanaz Press CTRL+SHIFT+S to display the Apply Styles dialog. When you have the selection in some text, it will display the Style that is being used for that text and you can use the Modify button on that dialog to access the Modify Style dialog in which you can make modifications to the Style
- Thanks for your help!
