I am proofing a book called Financial Peace Revisited by Dave Ramsey. It is
a nonfiction book about personal finances. I have run into a place where he
quotes a number of sources and denotes them with a # followed by a number.
This refers to the footnotes at the end of the book.

I need some help to know how to format this. Here is an example from the
book.


short years.#2 A recent survey conducted by Consolidated Credit Counseling
Services found that 71 percent of Americans say debts are making their home
lives unhappy.#3 A recent study in The Wall Street Journal states that 70
percent of the American public lives from paycheck to paycheck.#4
Interestingly, a Marist Institute poll published right after that Wall
Street Journal article stated that 55 percent of Americans "always" or
"sometimes" worry about their money.#5 If 70 percent are broke and only 55
percent are worried, I guess the other 15 percent are asleep.


Thanks for any help!
