Hey Guys,


I have a lot of docs that I have to insert author bio into. I would like to insert this info in place of the first footnote with an asterisk (or some other symbol). All of the macros I have looked at online insert both the symbol and a number, which I don't want. Here is the code I use presently to insert footnotes:


[ Sub InsertFootnote()
'Insert NGSQ style Footnote
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range
With Selection
.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Reset
.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters(2) = ""
.Characters.First.Previous.InsertBefore vbTab
.InsertAfter ". " & vbTab
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With
End Sub]


Suggestions on how to modify this code?

You might want to save what you want in the footnote as AutoText and insert that rather than having the text in your macro.

You would want your selection to move to the start of the document.

I do not know that you can have both symbol and number footnotes in the same document. The number is inserted because of your footnote option settings.


As a workaround, consider inserting your text as a first-page footer?
