I'm experiencing a weird bug with footnotes in word 2007, yet I cannot find
any information on it.
I'm currently moving a text from a pdf file to a word file. Amongst other
things, the text contains centered figures with centered captions as well as
footnotes. When I started, the footnotes were fine. However, as I copy
bodies of text from the pdf file to word, I regularly need to change the
formatting of a paragraph. For some odd reason though, if I select a whole
paragraph, and make it justified, word seems to thinks the logical thing to
do is to justify everything in the document and that I really only selected
that paragraph because I had too much time to spare.
Fortunatly, doing undo on this will undo the formatting on the whole
document and only keep the formatting on the paragraph I wanted to format.
Here's the problem though. Whenever I do this kind of undo, the space
between the footnotes and the footnote seperator line grows. When I started
working on the document, the line was right above the footnote, with almost
no space between them. Now it's about the equivalent of 8 lines of text.
The only time I saw something similar mentioned on google, the solution was
to copy the whole text, open a new word document and paste the text in it.
It works, but next time I do the undo, the line will slowly start creeping up
again.
The undo also seems to mess with my table formatting. For some reason, it
changes my custom table styles.
Note that those two bugs only happen when I undo the "format the whole
document" action that word does automatically. Other undos don't have this
problem.
any information on it.
