Hi Jack, When you come across a footnote number within the text of the book, Put a space, then an asterisk, the number, then another space. For the footnotes at the bottom of the page, you can either put three asterisks on a line before the footnotes or put a left bracket and the word footnote before the footnotes and a right bracket after the footnotes. HTH! Oh, in case you haven’t used them before, the brackets are to the right of the letter P on the keyboard.

The book I'm working on: A Nation In Crisis (I don't agree with the book's politics, but I can proofread it anyway!), has many footnotes. I'm using WORD. The OCR interpreted the annotation numbers as simple numerals. I've left them at that. Anyone know if there is a standard I should be following?
