Hi Sarah,

In your case, you can convert footnotes to endnotes.
If there are a lot of footnotes to deal with, you can do as follows:

method 1:
Put cursor at footnote area and press "Ctrl+ A" to select all footnotes in the document.
Then right click and choose "Convert to Endnote".

method 2:
Press "Alt+ F11" to open VBA editor and open a module.
Next paste and run the following codes:

Sub ConvertFootnotesToEndnotes()

If ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count > 0 Then
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Convert
Else
MsgBox ("There is no footnote in this document")
End If
End Sub


Hope this helps!
