The real solution is for Microsoft to fix this long standing bug or, even better, provide a more elegant way to print/publish a document with an option to remove footnotes or endnotes from the published version. That’s OK as a one off event but cumbersome if you need to do it regularly. See Hiding footnotes and endnotesĪside from that, your only real choice is to clone the document, delete the footnotes entirely and print/publish the edited clone. Word won’t show you start and end codes like WordPerfect because it doesn’t use them. However, there is a way to see how selected text is formatted. This leaves little spaces which can be reduced by changing the ‘Footnote Reference’ style to Font size 1pt (the minimum). You cannot see the bold codes around your text. The workaround we can think of is to change the ‘Footnote Reference’ to Font | color White (or other background color) instead of Hidden. A reasonable enough request which is difficult to do in Word even without the bug.Īs usual, the Microsoft Knowledge Base has no reference to this despite the passage of many years and doubtless many bug reports to Microsoft. how to print or make a copy of a Word document for distribution without footnotes. We found it while trying to answer a question we’d received from a few readers i.e. Kutools for Word releases a handy Display Settings feature to help users quickly to show or hide all. We’ve tried this in both Word 2010, Word 2013 all the way up to the latest Word 365 – there’s some minor display variations but essentially it’s the same bug in all releases of Word. Permanently show or hide all hidden text in Word. Now, the hidden text in your cells will be visible. But this time choose General as the format of the cells. If you want to display the hidden cell values, right-click the cells and select Format Cells. The contents are still there and accessible for formulas, charts as such. The order that you change the styles in makes no difference. This method only hides the cell contents from being seen.
