I think I am in Word hell. My preferences keep changing unexpectedly
(e.g., my spellcheck favored British spelling, suddenly Word tracked
changes to the document onscreen, overwrite turned on without
warning, etc.). But the most frustrating thing right now is that the
footnotes are not functioning. When I delete a footnote in the text, the
in-text number disappears, but the text in the footnotes window does
not. When I delete that text myself, the placeholder stubbornly remains
and the rest of the footnotes do not renumber. And when I move a
footnote (dragging it, e.g., from the middle of a sentence to the end of
a sentence), it duplicates and renumbers itself. I have moved the
Microsoft User Data folder (per http://docs.info.apple.com/
article.html?artnum=106970), and since then I have not had any
problem with polergeists in my preferences, but the footnote problem
persists. Has anyone else encountered and solved this problem?
