footnotes

I

Iolani

Thanks for your reply. I am new to Microsoft Publisher. I am also new to
Microsoft Word. I have always been Word Perfect user as that is what the
attorneys in this firm like. I am assisting one of the attorneys with a
geneology book. I gather from your reply that I must create the book's
contents in Word and then transfer the contents to Publisher after I am done
typing.

1st question: Will the footnotes go with the text or must I generate text
boxes for footnotes?

2nd question: Is there a tutorial or a manual that helps with Publisher

Thank you,
Iolani Sparks

You must create text boxes and create footnotes manually or paste them from
Word. You can create the genealogy booklet within Publisher, laying it all out
will be much easier than Word.
What version Publisher?
Microsoft Office Publisher 2007

I've never tried to transfer footnotes over to Publisher so I'm not sure
which way you will have to go. Try it and find out.

Is there a reason why you are using Publisher for the book? Some's Word is
the better program for a task.

As for a book, there is a dearth of information on Publisher. There will be
a Dummies book for it but it's still a work in progress and I don't know the
timeline for the project. There are several sites on the web with various
tutorials on Publisher. Use Google and see what you can find out. Also,
Barnes and Noble had a book printed on Pub 2003 for $10. I don't know if
it's still available but it's worth checking out.

That's a great template, Don. Develop a similar template for Publisher and
submit it to Microsoft. The link is on the left on the template main page.

In Publisher 2000 and probably later, you will need to get creative; at the
footnote marker location use superscript marker and at the base of the page or
end of document use the same superscript marker and adjust the font size.
Maybe add a line at the start of the footnote so as to look like a normal
footnote.

How about creating the genealogy book in Word and saving the document in Word
Perfect format.

Also you might see if the Family History template will work for you.

Beware all those converting text and photos from Microsoft Word XP to Publisher 2003! All footnotes disappear. Sad experience this month with a family history.
