Copy Word Document including FOOTNOTE

[Withers]

Hello all

I have a challenge, it would be brilliant if you could assist me!

A client would like to copy all of a Word 2013 document with the included footnotes, into Outlook 2013. Of course the best way to do this would be to save it as an attachment, but this is apparently no good.

I can copy the word document with the footnote but it turns the footnote into a comment, which again is no good.
This task used to be possible in XP world with Office 2003. Does this feature still exist?

I would be very grateful of any help!

Many Thanks

Rob

Hi,

You may have a category error in your request. What you see displayed in Word are pages that would appear on sheets of paper. So when you copy stuff form Word and paste it into another application that has a completely different function and very few word processing features, it is no wonder that that happens! It's not the same animal!

You could, however screen print each page of the Word document and paste the pic into an Outlook message. That's about as brilliant as I can be at this time of the morning.

Another alternative is to export the Word document as a PDF to be an attachment to the email.

How did you do it with XP and 2003?

Hmmmm? No attachments? Well that rules out a PDF attachment.

Your client wants Outlook to act like Word, and not just text formatting. It is interpreting footnotes in WYSIWYG display, which is not what is actually stored.

You are severely hampered IMNSHO.

There are screen shot applications with cropping features that you can Google.

There is no email app I know of that supports footnotes (or endnotes) in the message body. You can, of course, fake it, but that's not the same thing... In any event, even if you were able to insert them into your email, there's no guarantee any recipient's email map could or would process them in the same way.
