I see there have been 4 downloads of the Word file already.  I should have
mentioned that it includes my footnotes.  But it is a "Read-Only" file which
should mean you can't change it..  However, unless something is going on
that I'm not up to speed on, when I downloaded the file a few minutes ago,
I was able to see the footnotes, and to change the footnotes.. I'm sure
it was not my original file that I was changing.  It was the downloaded
version, like the one you should get if you download the Word file in the
post just above nipr's post, above this one, at the end of the transcript.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE FOOTNOTES in your copy, it seems you
can easily delete them, by going to the index number on each page
where they occur and position your cursor to the space just after the
footnote index number, and pressing the BACKSPACE key. On PCs,
this will delete the footnote.  You need to do this for each footnote,
apparently.  Maybe someone knows how to delete all footnotes with a few
keystrokes using some shortcut.

How to find all the footnotes??

Maybe there is a better way, so if you know one please post it here.  But
the way I do it is go to the top of the page, like right after the title, a
place that will be easy to find, and put your cursor there.  That means
point your mouse arrow at the spot, like the left most place above "...Say
a prayer" and left click once.  On a Mac it's just a click.  Then go to the top
toolbar and click on "Insert."  The third item down the list that drops down
should be "Reference."  Point your mouse there at Reference and you
should get a new drop-down window to the right with a list of 4 choices,
the top one of which is Footnote.  On a Mac, I think you have to click on
the word Reference, because a lot of Macs are not able to evoke any
feature by hovering your mouse arrow over something active on the
page.  This is a feature that is now obsolete with iPads, for example.  How
they can think that is "progress" is beyond my comprehension.  But I
digress...

Click on Footnote and you should get a new window that has a lot of
rigamarole in it.  You should have "Bottom of page" for Location as default.
If you have changed that to "Below text," you may have to put it back to
"Bottom of page" for this to work, but I'm not sure.  Maybe someone else
who knows Word better can chime in here.  

The next item down the list is 'Format'.  There is a drop-down arrow on the
right side of the little window where you should click the down arrow and
select the fourth option:  "i, ii, iii..." to be sure it works for this file, what
I am describing to you.  I can only tell you what I know, so if you do all
these things you should get the same results.. I don't know about
alternative methods that you may prefer.  Word has a lot of options, you
know, which is why (IMHO) the Novus Ordo can get away with giving the
priest "options" in the Liturgy and make it seem like it's a benefit!  But I
digress...

Once your Format is set to "i, ii, iii..." then 'Custom mark' should be a blank
window, the 'Start at' window should have "i" in it, 'Numbering' should be
default at "Continuous", and the last section, 'Apply changes to' should be
default set at "Whole docuмent".  

With all these things in order, alls ya gotter do is, click Insert.

TA-DA!  

Your docuмent page should appear with the footnote area at the bottom
of the window.  Now all the footnotes should be visible there, all in one
place.  Scroll down to each one in that bottom list and when the respective
footnote is at the top of the sub window, the text in the main window
above should automatically go to the index number for that footnote in
the docuмent.  BTW if you want to decide whether or not you want to
keep the footnotes (most readers probably don't want my footnotes
because they're tainted with my own subjective nuances), you can read
them all right there in the bottom sub-window.  Or, if you want to see
what they're going to look like if you print them, click on Print Layout View,
which is the third icon on the bottom-left side, or the third choice in the
dropdown menu under the View tab on the top toolbar, between Edit and
Insert.  I wanted to put them all at the end of the docuмent, but they are
showing up on each page where they are indexed.  DUUUH.  

So now, position your mouse to the space right after footnote index ii
(or i), which BTW is found at the end of the top paragraph on Page 8 (if
you have not added a new, test index, i, on the docuмent, the first
footnote there on Page 8 will be "i" not "ii"), and press the BACKSPACE
key.  The first time you press it (or perhaps the second time) the index
number will be highlighted.  At that moment, when you press the key
again, the index number will be deleted.  When the index number is
deleted, the footnote itself is deleted.  

Wait....

Then how come you spelled my name wrong?    :roll-laugh2: :roll-laugh2:

 I'm gonna git you fer this, nipr!!   :geezer:

I just discovered a shortcut for anyone who has read this far and thinks
I must be on a different planet or whatever.  Down in the bottom right
corner of your Word window, on the vertical scroll bar, are three weird
items:  a double down arrow, a circle that looks like it wants you to think
it's a rounded button, and a double up arrow.  On a PC, your mouse arrow
hovering over the pseudo-button will evoke the title "Select Browse
Object" but on a Mac, you're on your own:  I can go check for you if you
want to know, but unless you do, I don't think it's worth my effort.  I have
a Mac but I don't use it because it's too inept for me, and User Unfriendly.
So there, now you know I'm an alien from planet Claire, or whatever.   :tinfoil:

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Go ahead and click on the pseudo-button:  it won't bite or call the Fire
Department.  The SWAT Team will not address you via bullhorn outside
your bunker.  There will be no earthquake or appearance of a red Dragon
in your vestibule.  You will find twelve (12) choices appear in the form of
icons, and you want to select the fourth one from the top left corner, that
is, the one in third place from the top right corner.  It's a little yellow
square with a black border and a 1 in brackets.  Now, if you only had a
PC instead of a dorky Mac (Ah-hem!) you could hover your mouse there
over the icon I'm talking about and find it is called a Browse by Footnote
icon.  Woops.  The title appears in the mini-box below the 12 icons, so I
would expect that is the case with Macs too.  Sorry for the cheap shot.
Click on the Browse by Footnote icon and then you can use the double
arrows, up or down, above and below the pseudo-button, to navigate
through all the footnotes and delete them or even read them if you are
really adventurous.  Oh -- back to the cheap shots:  In so doing, you can
browse from one footnote to another by using the double arrows, and
when you find a footnote index number AND you want to read the
footnote it indexes, point your mouse arrow to the index number and the
footnote itself will appear JUST LIKE MAGIC! in a little window because
your mouse arrow hovers over the index number.  Don't even try this with
an iPad because the geniuses who "de-veloped" iPads said, "This
technology is obsolete because it uses too much RAM and our customers
have big fingers, and they're clumsy, and it's too hard to point at things
with an iPad;  so therefore, this technology is obsolete."

That's why it's 'obsolete'.  Get it? [Rim shot]

So, in this way, you can determine which, if any, of the footnotes you
want to delete before you print out your copy.  Alternatively, you
can even add your OWN footnotes (or so it would seem!)
to a "Read Only" docuмent (wonders never cease!) so as to customize
your print-out for an individual who has a penchant for a particular blind
spot, such as:  "OKAY, now the 'deal' is off the table, so we can move on
to more relevant issues."  


IMHO, footnotes are very powerful for the Resistance.  

I have seen with my own eyes, when otherwise educated and wise
people, many of whom are unwitting followers of the Accordista Clan
(read:  'cult' -- and tell Tele it was Neil who sent you!) -- hold in their
hand a piece of paper that has simply been printed using some manner
of device at our disposal in these LAST DAYS, they go, "Oh! Well how
about that!"  And the very thing that was UNBELIEVABLE to them,
because they had thought you got it from the VERBOTEN Internet,
the SINFUL Internet, the QUARANTINED Internet, the NO FLY ZONE
Internet, the RADIOACTIVE Internet, the.. the.. the..

     THE LATEST MODEL OF THE

FORBIDDEN FRUIT - THE INTERNET!!

-- that thing, that erstwhile UNTOUCHABLE thing, has now somehow,
mysteriously and imperceptibly has gained some degree of credibility that
was utterly inaccessible before they had held that one page in their hand
and had looked at it.  

I tell you:  IT WORKS.  

"Take it and run with it."  (Football coach to a track star who asks him,
"What can I do with a football?")

Neil, if you can give such detailed instructions as these, I doubt if anyone would NOT want to read your footnotes for they must not be anything but noteworthy.  

Will you do my taxes?????
