Notes at the botom of a page

[Dave Neve]

Hi

Someone has sent me a document which has caused me no end of trouble.

Tables are divided across pages although I have tried to combine them using
the 'do not display tables across pages' function (translated so the wording
is not correct)

I now have a sneaky suspicion that this is caused by 'notes at the bottom of
the page'.

This seems to be a separate function from 'headers and footnotes' in my
version of Word

Anyway, how do you delete 'notes at the bottom of the page' as it won't
allow itself to be deleted by normal means.

Hope you can follow me as I don't know the exact names of these functions in
English although they both appear in the 'display' menu and next to each
other (notes at tbottom of page has a Windows keyboard shortcut Alt + X
assigned to it on my system)

Thanks in advance

Dave Neve

What you describe sounds like footnotes, which cannot be deleted without
deleting the footnote number that causes them to appear. Try this: Edit-Go
To, and select "Footnote." Type the number 1 into the box, and see what you
get.

If they are footnotes, you will have to decide what to do with them. The
only way to delete a footnote is to delete its footnote number in the text
(drag over it and push Delete key). You can read the footnote text by going
to Print Layout view; hold the mouse over the footnote number, or just
scroll to the bottom of the page.
