Question for Brian Kvalheim

[Chuck Davis]

In an earlier post regarding footnotes in Publisher you
stated: "...Easy. Go to Edit > Edit Story in Word from the
Publisher menu. This will allow you to have footnotes...."

I thought this would be great for my newsletters. Using
XP2, Publisher 2003, I have tried repeatedly. I assume that
when through inserting the footnotes, one chooses Close and
return to publication [name]. The footnotes do not remain.
I also tried a footnote and an end note. Neither were
present in the Publisher document.

==========================================
I wonder if...View / Header and Footer...would be useful?

Brian,
The end result is still no footnotes.

The end result is still no footnotes.

==============================
OK...but in Pub2003...if I go to...
View / Header and Footer...I see a
page with a field at the top for a
header and a field at the bottom for
a footer. If I enter text in either field...
when I return to the regular view...
the text is still there. If I don't enter
text...the field disappears.

Sorry...that's the best I can offer.
Have you tried searching your help
files for footnotes?

Chuck (and Ed), you are absolutely correct. I was mistaken. I intended to
say that you can use Insert > Object > Create from File > Browse to and
Existing Word Document. This keeps the footnotes intact.

Again, my bad for the wrong information.

I have successfully inserted the object (Word document)
into Publisher. I can open the object and add to the
document. However, I can't make it into a multiple page
story. I have inserted additional pages, but can't link the
story to an additional page.

How about this...
Paste the footnotes into a textbox, link it to the footnote textbox on page 2 and so
on. You probably will have to do some fiddling but it could work.
Create textboxes for your story above the footnote textbox, link those too. A
workaround...

Or use PagePlus 10 if you do this with many files!

Or just keep using Word for your documents that require footnotes, since
they already have it
