Well, the way I enterpret this is that the first part is talking about footnotes, and the second part is talking about the footnote numbers.

Hi Mary, I read that this morning too, and now am completely baffled.

The manual seems to me to contradict itself in two consecutive paragraphs, unless the first bitof information is speaking of the source and not the footnote number. Here is the link to the page on which I found the information and thecomplete information on footnotes. The first paragraph is what Scott sent tous a while back. The second bit is what Lori sent just yesterday. https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/4.+Proofread+a+book 1) Footnotes a. Don't delete them. b. Enclose a footnote in square brackets. c. For multiple footnotes that occur on one page, group them together at the bottom of the page.Then enclose the entire group of footnotes within oneset of square brackets. (For an example, follow the link below to the detail page.) 2) Superscripts and Subscripts a. If footnote numbers or footnote letters are superscripted or subscripted, leave them that way. b. The same holds true if footnote numbers or footnote letters are not superscripted or subscripted: leave them as they are. c. Put parentheses around each footnote number or footnote letter. Also, if not already there, add a space between the footnote number or footnote letter and the word before it. In the body of the text, change this: Unemployment rose in the middle of this decade1. to this: Unemployment rose in the middle of this decade (1). In the footnote itself, change this: 1Applies to the years 2006-2008. to this: (1) Applies to the years 2006-2008.
