Hello,
I want to create personalized footnotes in MS WORD 2007, as my client requests footnotes with asterisks as follows:

for 1 = *,
for 2 = **,
for 3 = ***,

if anyone has a solution, thank you very much.
Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

Thank you for your response, however I have 450 footnotes to correct because the document already exists and in Word the only options are 1, 2, 3 ... a, b, c... I, II, III ...
I wish to find a more "automatic" solution
create a macro,
custom list of footnotes
create a font with only asterisks

Thank you

Alright, I see, yes indeed if you're having fun doing that 450 times... lol.. that's lengthy!! I think there must be some automated thing for that, I'll take a look...

So I'm answering my own question if it helps ...
I created a font (with FontCreator) based on Times (for example) where I replaced the

1 with *
2 with **
3 with ***
4 with ****
5 with *****

(I don't have more than 4 notes per page so it should be fine since there is an option in Word to restart numbering for each page)

And there you go ...
See you soon and thanks for your help rislou71

insertion > ok > at the bottom of the page double-click on the 1 > delete the 1 and put a star in its place

but make sure to click on the 1 and a small box will appear and there you put a * and you delete the 1 there you go!
