Need help changing superscript from roman numerals to regular numbers

Lizzybeth
Hi,

I'm working with MS Word. When I use zotero to place a superscript next to the sentence I'm trying to reference for my end notes, it gives me a roman numeral. I need regular numbers. How can I change this? I don't know if it's a zotero setting or a Word setting (though I've checked everywhere and can't seem to find anything).

Has anyone run into this problem?

Thanks!

    Seems to be a Word issue, not connected with Zotero. Here's a howto:

    (I'm not a Word user, so no idea if the advice there will play as advertised. But it seems to be in the ballpark.)

    Change automatic reference marks for Word endnotes

    by Mary Ann Richardson | Mar 06, 2007 8:00:00 AM


    Takeaway: If you don't like the way your Word endnote numbers look, change them! Mary Ann Richardson explains that you can change the reference marks from Roman numerals to a different format by making one simple format change.

    By default, Word uses small Roman numerals for endnote reference marks. If you decide later that you do not want to use the default number format, you don't have to delete the endnote numbers and re-create them all again. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps.

    For example, to change the Roman numerals to Arabic numbers without having to insert new ones, follow these steps:

    Click anywhere in your document.
    Go to Insert | Reference | Footnotes.
    Click Endnotes and make the appropriate selection from the Endnotes drop-down list.
    Select 1, 2 ,3... from the Number Format drop-down list.
    Select Whole Document from the Apply Changes To drop-down list.
    Click Apply.

    By clicking Apply instead of Insert, you can change all the endnotes in the document. You can also follow this procedure to change the automatic reference marks set for footnotes. The only difference is in step 3; you will click Footnotes and make the appropriate selection from the Footnotes drop-down list.
