Footnote reference numbers precede by superscript '(' and follow w/ superscript ')'
I wish to set a global setting so that each reference number superscript will be preceded by superscript '(' and followed by superscript ')'. I have been searching for both of these online for an hour. The only thing I found is this reference, which shows how to do a find and replace of superscript FN number, with an un-superscripted one, followed by a period. This may perhaps be able to adapted to my needs somehow? Need some guidance on this... |

After the document has been completed, you can search for ^f and replace with (^&) in the Find & Replace dialog box (Ctrl+H).
If you want something more sophisticated, a macro will be required.

This is perfect, will absolutely achieve the needful. I will definitely use this going forward in my future documents.
Just one follow-up question on this: Not knowing the way to do it with find and replace, in the current document I've already added the () manually, to 150 of 340 footnotes in this document. If I now do the find and replace command you've given, it will add the () to all, including adding an extra set to the ones I've already done. Won't it? |

You are right: my simple suggestion assumes that you only need to Find & Replace once, after document editing has been completed.
If you do the Find & Replace operation more than once, there will be duplicates.

That's fine. It will serve my purpose perfectly going forward.
