Footnotes within merged form letters

[Michele.Cross]

How do I maintain footnote numbering in merged form letters? I had a simple
four page letter going out to several contacts; however, my footnotes printed
as continuously numbered, rather than the initial numbering after I merged
the records into a "new document".

If you're in Word 2002/2003, in your Mail merge Main Document, go to
Insert|Reference|Footnote, and change the "Numbering" to "Restart each
section".

In Word 97/2000 the same option is in Insert|Footnote|Options.

When you merge to Form Letters, each new letter is in a new section and you
should see the numbering restart.
