problem with footnote reference

[ab2002]

When I copy a Word 2003 text with many footnotes in another Word 2003 file,
the foot-notes references are not anymore in superscript but appear as
'normal' text. I cannot explain why and it takes a long time to put each of
them back in superscript. I could not find a way to do this with find and
replace.
Any tip ?

Are you pasting as "Unformatted Text"?

Modify (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html) the
Footnote Reference character style to include superscript formatting.

Many thanks for your answer. In the meantime I solved the problem. How it
happened may be of interest to Microsoft.
When I tried to find the footnote references (through Find and Replace) WORD
2003 did not recognize any (they were not superscript).
But when I highlighted any one, it was recognized as a footnote reference.
Then it was easy to let WORD find all instances and set the in superscript.
Isn't it strange ?

Well, the Footnote Reference style is applied to all footnote numbers
(unless you clear it), which explains why selecting all instances worked for
you.
