Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Note, you cannot simply delete the intervening numbers, doing so deletes the footnote/endnote.

To do it manually, you would select the intermediate numbers in the text and mark them as hidden text (Alt+Shift+H) and then insert your own hyphen/dash.
