But you can use the "FIND" command to find each footnote reference marker, and change it. My procedure is as follows: 1) Get the cursor at the top of the document and get the "FIND" dialog box. Enter "^5" (carot 5). This is the code for Word to find the footnote reference marker. 2) When Word has found the first footnote reference marker, select the "character format" dialog box. Enter the point size that you desire and hit ok (or return). 3) Hit the = key on the numeric keypad. This has Word find the next ocurrance of what is in the "FIND" dialog box. 4) Hit command-A. This repeats the sizing command. 5) Repeat steps three and four until you reach the bottom of the document. Repeat the steps inside the footnote window as well Good luck. -- X-----------------------------------------------------------------------------X X David Baird xdab@midway.uchicago.edu X X University Computing Organizations d-baird@uchicago.edu X X University of Chicago (312) 702-7161 X
