Using word 4.0 how do you change the font sizes of footnote reference marks all at once. I tried redefining footnote reference with define style but it only changed the newly entered footnotes or changed the style of the entire paragraph. Can you recommend any strategies? Thank you for any help in advance murray@andromeda.rutgers.edu

One feature that may help do it (although it's not the global sort of thing that we'd all rather have) is that command-option-r will find formats. Combine this with the find again command (= on the keypad, or command-option- a) as follows. Select the first footnote marker in your text, do command-option r and it will find the next one (because the format is the same). Then you have to change the size (command-shift-< and command-shift-> are useful here). Then use the find again to move to the next one (you want to use the find again rather than reusing find format cmd-opt-r because Word might hare off looking for some new format rather than the one you really want it to find). Don't neglect, after doing the markers in the text, to move your cursor to the foot- note window to finish the job because Word apparently doesn't consider the footnotes to be part of the same document (_I_ don't know, you go figure!) There isn't it all very simple when we're using a powerful, yet easy to use word processor? ;-)

But you can use the "FIND" command to find each footnote reference marker, and change it. My procedure is as follows: 1) Get the cursor at the top of the document and get the "FIND" dialog box. Enter "^5" (carot 5). This is the code for Word to find the footnote reference marker. 2) When Word has found the first footnote reference marker, select the "character format" dialog box. Enter the point size that you desire and hit ok (or return). 3) Hit the = key on the numeric keypad. This has Word find the next ocurrance of what is in the "FIND" dialog box. 4) Hit command-A. This repeats the sizing command. 5) Repeat steps three and four until you reach the bottom of the document. Repeat the steps inside the footnote window as well Good luck. -- X-----------------------------------------------------------------------------X X David Baird xdab@midway.uchicago.edu X X University Computing Organizations d-baird@uchicago.edu X X University of Chicago (312) 702-7161 X
