Cross-reference pointing to wrong page (reference type=> footnotes)

Question

Hi,

In Word 2013 I am trying to insert through "cross-reference" the page of the reference type "footnotes".

If I insert the "footnote number", it is ok. But it is strange, when I try to insert the "page number", because any footnote page is being inserted as page 1.

I tried other objects (figure, tables) and everything related to page numbers works great. So, the problem is just with the "footnote page".

Does anyone have any idea about what is going wrong?

Many thanks,

Cadu

Answer 1

This is a known problem. Microsoft is aware of the issue and is working on it. Meanwhile, the workaround is to select the footnote reference number or some text in the footnote itself and bookmark it. Then insert a PAGEREF to the bookmark instead of the footnote.
