How do I set the default font size for footnotes?
Hi Bill,
Did you do this?... On the Home ribbon, in the Styles group, there is a small square button in the bottom right corner below the Change Styles button. Click that button, or press its shortcut combination Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, to open the Styles task pane. The Styles pane should appear all the way down the right side of the Word window, not in the ribbon across the top. At the bottom of that pane, there should be three square buttons and a blue hyperlink-looking thing that says "Options...". If you don't see all that, there's something wrong with your Word installation. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I do not get an "options link" in the bottom right hand of the Styles windows that shows in Word 2007 when I click on the button in the styles box. All I get is a list of the preset styles [Normal, No Spacing, Heading 1, etc.]. I've looked everywhere I can and cannot find anywhere that I can set the font for footnotes. I can't find "footnote text" or "footnote reference" anywhere. Can you help an old man down in Macon, GA?

I followed your instructions and was able to format my footnote just the way
I wanted. Thank you for your time in answering these posts. K.
