The release notes for version 16.16 and earlier also apply to Office 2016 for Mac, which is also a version of Office for Mac that’s available as a one-time purchase. Older versions up to and including 16.16 can be activated with an Office 2016 for Mac volume license.
Add footnotes and endnotes in a Pages document A document can contain footnotes, which appear at the bottom of the page, or endnotes, which appear at the end of the document or a. You can’t have both footnotes and endnotes in the same document, but you can convert all notes in the document from one type to another. By default, footnotes and endnotes are numbered continuously throughout the document with Arabic numerals, but you can change this formatting. Use controls in the Footnotes tab of the sidebar to format footnotes and endnotes.

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have 1000 pages of class notes that I put together in Word 2004 (and earlier) in which I embedded pictures that I created in a word document. (This was done via the 'Insert-Object-Word Document' function.) When I try to open them in Word 2008, I get the spinning wheel of death. Any suggestions? I really need to be able to open them so that I can change things and improve the figures and notes. I still have both Word 2004 and 2008 on the computer. (As well as XP with 2007 - which also has issue with the documents.) John McGhie 17/2/2010, 23:41 น. Before you can rescue those documents, you need to be able to get them open.
If Word 2004 will open them, Save As and choose.docx format. If Word 2004 can't open them, either version of Word will open them if you choose 'Enable 'Recover Text from Any File'. However, if you do that, you will get only the text back, you will lose all your pictures, unless we can get the file into.docx format.

Inserted how? Take great care, and keep a backup: remember that with computer files, if you lose it, you lose the lot and it's permanent.

A Word file can up to about 2 GB before it fails, if you can stand the slowness.

The issue is likely to be the complexity of the code within the file: you have documents within documents. Things that will make this issue worse: 1) Tracking changes, 2) Automatic Numbering, 3) Tables, 4) Different versions of Word, 5) Different file formats. If you were to upgrade each of the embedded documents into the latest.docx format, then save the main file as.docx format, then re-embed the pictures as.docx, you would produce a more reliable document. It would certainly be a lot smaller (because.docx is tightly compressed). And it would give less trouble opening the embedded files because everything would be the same version. And keep those backups:-) The problem won't sort itself out, it will simply continue to get worse with each update to the document until you can't open the file.

I have used a reply you gave to someone else: 'That's normally corrupt preferences: Try this: 1) If the following files exist, Remove or rename them: /Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Word Settings (10) /Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Word Settings (11) 2) User/Library/Preferences/com.Microsoft.Word.plist 3) User/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008 (the whole folder!) 4) Then Repair Permissions with Disk Utility. Step 3 is the most important one, but you need to do the others first or it won't work. Hope this helps' I am going through this process now.
I'll let you know if it works. John McGhie 28/2/2010, 16:06 น. Glad you got it sorted:-) I had not realised that a munged Drawing Toolbar pref could cause slowness: I thought it always caused a crash.
