SYMPTOMS
When you work in a document that has Track Changes (Revision Marks)
enabled, you may experience one or both of the following symptoms:
Case 1: Footnote Text Not Marked with Strikethrough Text
When you delete a footnote reference mark, the footnote text is not
marked with strikethrough text the way the footnote reference is.
Case 2: Footnote Remains After Footnote Reference Deleted
When you delete a footnote reference mark, the footnote reference mark
disappears, but the footnote text remains.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the appropriate method for your
situation.
Case 1: Footnote Text Not Marked with Strikethrough Text
There is no setting or workaround to correct this behavior.
The footnote text will be deleted when you accept the change, or the
footnote reference mark will not be struck through when you reject the
change.
Case 2: Footnote Remains After Footnote Reference Deleted
This behavior occurs when the "Highlight changes on screen" option is
disabled. To work around this behavior, use the following steps to enable
the "Highlight changes on screen" option:
- On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes (or Revisions), and then
click Highlight Changes.
- In the Highlight Changes dialog box, click to select the "Highlight
changes on screen" check box, and then click OK.
NOTE: This work around will produce the same behavior as described in Case
1 in the Symptoms section.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
