displaying notes with a dash

B

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

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.
