Change the number format of footnotes or endnotes

Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

Place the insertion point in the section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) in which you want to change the footnote or endnote format. If the document is not divided into sections, place the insertion point anywhere in the document.
On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote.
Click Footnotes or Endnotes.
In the Number format box, click the option you want.
Click Apply.
