[bksvol-discuss] Re: a question about formatting footnote references

a question about formatting footnote referencesHi, in the "Bound by Books" 
newsletter dated May 28, 2009, the following information appeared regarding 
footnotes:

Bookshare appreciates the insertion of punctuation (brackets or parentheses) 
around
footnotes but does not require it. Footnotes may be retained as they appear in 
the
scanned copy.
Bookshare advocates the retention of superscripts where possible, but in cases 
where
your scanner pushes them onto the line above or omits them entirely, please drop
superscripts into the text line..

        I think they'd now li ike us to  use superscript numbers for the 
foonotes, if possible. Delete the pound sign, blacken the number and  click on 
superscript; in my Word it's in the format  menue, under or by clicking on 
character.  (Can someone else give Doug better directions?

          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!

          -- Doug
