I don't know how to line the citation number with its main body

[thank-smile]

So each time I have to change manually, if I add a new one.

Are you referring to footnote/endnote references? If so, the Footnote
Reference and Endnote Reference character styles are by default defined as
Superscript. You can modify the style not to include this formatting. For
another approach, see

thanks. I am using office 2003 word and windows XP.
I am writing a paper that all the references are put at the end of the
paper, may
be taking two or three whole pages. I call it citation, I don't know if it
should be
called endnote.
For each of these citations, there is a citation number. the number is at
the beginning of the citation line. And in the earlier pages, in the main
body of the
paper, I use the same number to cite this reference----which is ascommonly
seen in scientific papers or books.
During the writing, I may find it necessary to insert a new citation at a
place in
the main body. to keep all citations in the correct order (1,2, 3, 4,
.....) I have
to correct all the numbers after the newly inserted one. That's a lot labor.
that's
what i am struggling with.

Use Insert | Reference | Footnote and select Endnotes.

Yeah! It works.
The formart of the numbers is not what I want. I want [1], [2], [3], ...
Is there an easy way to change all the upper lower case 1,2, 3,... into
what I want?

Reread my previous replies. Note that you'll have to add the brackets
manually unless you do that with a macro.
