Multiple notes to a single footnote

E

Eric

I am creating a document where I need to asterist several items in my text
to the same footnote. In the text I mention Mary, Jane, Bill, Mike and want
to asterist Mary, Bill and Mike to a single footnote that might say "Honors
students". It seems as if Word wants to give each person his or her own
footnote. Is there a way around this?

Thanks.

Instead of inserting a second footnote insert a cross reference to the first
one, then format the number as superscript.

It will be formatted as superscript automatically if you use Insert |
Reference | Cross-reference to Footnote: Footnote number (formatted).

Good catch. I didn't look that far down the list ;)
