Hi and help! I'm experiencing an aggravating issue with a file that my friend created in Word containing a vast amounts of footnotes and endnotes. He wants me to upload this file to his web site and he wrote this file in MS Word. However, when I import this Word file into FrontPage 2003, the footnotes and endnotes are superscripted, yet they throw off the line spacing in the paragraph that they are contained in. In his Word document, the footnotes and endnotes are superscripted; however, in Word they don't seem to throw off the line spacing in the paragraphs where the footnotes and endnotes are installed. Once the Word file is imported into FrontPage, though, the line spacing is thrown off dramatically. I do not know how to repair this Word document once it is imported into FrontPage and then uploaded onto his site. I do not own another html editor. It seems that because these foot- and endnotes are superscripted, when the file is uploaded from FrontPage or is even saved as a Web page in Word, once it's in the Web browser as a Web page, it looks awful because the superscripting is pushing the lines above the footnotes and endnotes higher than they're supposed to be. I am not familiar as to how to fix this error, when one wants to convert a Word file containing foot- and endnotes into a Web page. What's strange is that when one views it as a Word file, the lines in each paragraph containing foot- and endnotes appear evenly spaced. This is an emergency and I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer at your earliest convenience. Thanks so much. :tweety:

Firstly, MS Word is not a web design tool (neither is Frontpage
)
My best advice would probably be to re do the whole thing properly, not using Word.

Hi, thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, the author of this file created the entire file (400+ pp.) as a Word document. Another friend recentlyr told me that there's an Adobe product (Adobe PDF Writer) that she uses. She imports her Word docs into Adobe Writer, works on them in this, and then publishes her Web pages as PDF files. Since I don't believe that the author of these Word files would not want to re-do all of his files, what are other alternatives for publishing these Word files as Web pages other than using FrontPage? Thanks for all of your help.

There is a function in Dreamweaver that converts MS Word files to web pages, I think. Can someone verify this?

Ok, I see that the problem is actually with the endnote/footnote references, not with the footnotes themselves, the little 1s 2s, and so on.
To fix this the best thing to do is (in Word) go to
format > style > footnote reference > Modify > Format > Font
then, uncheck superscript, and change the font color to something like blue, that way the references are kept, and the lines don't get messed up.

If PDF is a good option then definitely go to pdf995.com. I downloaded and installed a dozen different free pdf converters before I discovered this gem. All of the free ones add an ugly unprofessional advertiosement stamped inside your finished pdf file. But this one is great and I use it often. It installs as a print diver that you can choose. It will open up to their webpage every time YOU convert a file with it but it will leave your finished document just the way you want it... with no ads.

Thank you! I had just told someone about that PDF maker the otherday, but couldn't find links for it anymore. I was gonna have to go searching for it again, but you saved me the trouble! I used it a year or so ago and it was excellent! I'd use it more if I didn't have the full copy of Acrobat.
