How to convert all existing footnotes to custom mark footnotes

Hi,

We are having a huge document containing more than 400 pages and almost 200 footnotes. The problem is that we have to remove all section break within that document so all our existing footnotes will have their numbering changed. Is there a way to convert all existing footnotes in order to keep it's current index number and set that value under the custom mark field so that we do not have to do it one by one
Kind Regards

Michel

Hi Michel,

 

Custom marks and foot note numbering are not the same and they cannot be replaced with each other’s functionality.

 

If you have setup footnote to restart numbering for each section, then it will not retain the same number if you remove the section break the numbers will automatically change to continuous.

 

I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
