Ah. thank,s Lori. I remember I use to use parentheses. ad sighted they were
difficult to read. Now I put them in superscript when I proof read.

a question about formatting footnote references
Hi, 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?

[bksvol-discuss] a question about formatting footnote

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
