The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

This article was previously published under Q153978 SYMPTOMS
Some footnotes or endnotes are not available for selection in the Cross-Reference dialog box. For example, you may see the first and third
footnote, but not the second footnote.
CAUSE
You inserted a hard carriage return after the footnote or endnote text
reference number and then you typed your footer or endnote.
For example, if the second footnote is not available in the Cross-reference
dialog box, you inserted a paragraph mark before the text of the footnote
or endnote in the footnote or endnote window pane or viewing area.
WORKAROUND
Remove the hard carriage return before the footnote or endnote text
reference mark. If you need extra line spacing in the footnotes or
endnotes, use any of the following methods.
Method 1
Modify the Footnote or Endnote Text style to include space before or after
the paragraph.
Method 2
Add the hard carriage return when you type the footnote text, by pressing
ENTER at the end of your footnote text.
Method 3
Position the insertion point after the text of the previous footnote or
endnote and then press ENTER.
