(There’s a footnote 98 that is buried amidst the subsequent footnotes, which leads me to think that a section of the deleted text was inserted, again with Track Changes turned on.) The result is that the footnotes jump from 97 to 126. Presumably, too, the person who did that had Track Changes activated (I’ve noticed that automatic renumbering of footnotes doesn’t work when Track Changes is on). Presumably at some stage a chunk of text was deleted, and that chunk had 30 footnotes attached to it. I am editing a document produced by somebody else.
My question has to do with Microsoft Word (2007, though I’m using the compatibility function).
