Thank you very much for the info. I also learned that if you type: ctrl + alt + (the plus key on the number pad) the cursor changes to a clover and whatever menu you choose you will get the command that it executes.

Regarding the macro you wrote of hanging footnotes:

Could this handle:
1. Asking the user what character should be on the left of the FN referer (something like the open parentheses char( and what char should be on the right of the referer, like the close parentheses) or [ ] and then insert the FN referer with those chars and then in the FN area open a footnote with the FN "referee" also within those chars.

I know this can be done by finding anf replace after the fact but having this in real-time would be totally cooooooooool.

I know you and others have better things to do than write code for a lazy gall like myself, but if you have an extra few minutes to do it I would be most appreciative!

Thank you and have a good day!
