Is there a way to do a find and replace in the footnotes of word.

Thanks in advance

Can you explain in more detail? Do you want to find and replace text in the footnotes or find and replace footnote references in the main text?

i was wanting to replace the text within the footnote but have found out how now – just was being impatient – I didn’t realise it would go through the whole document and then the footnotes. Out of interest how would you change the reference within the document.

Thanks for your help

Hi Boyley:
That depends upon what your trying to replace them with. The symbol in the Find box (of Find/Replace) is ^f. You can also search for anything with the Footnote reference style (Find | Replace box/Format/Style/Footnote reference).
Cheers,
