Dear friends,
a while back I asked this question and it seemed that people said there was no solution. I was wondering if that had changed.
I want to automatically cause Word when in inserts a footnote to put brackets around the footnote pointer. i.e.
Not "1", but "[1]".
Thank you!
Susan

No change. The workaround suggest by macropod remains your best option.
Have you sent feedback to Microsoft about this?
