Numbering footnotes and endnotes
You can change the numbering method of a footnote or endnote. For example, you can choose to display letters instead of numbers.
You can also control footnote or endnote numbering. You can choose by which amount the footnote or endnote numbers increase. In addition, you can specify to restart footnote or endnote numbering. Starting new numbers for footnotes and endnotes is useful when you want each chapter or section of a document to have its own footnotes or endnotes.
