Actually, I believe those instructions are for Office in Windows.
The help file in Mac Word 2011 say:

On the Insert menu, click Footnote.
Under Format, on the Number format pop-up menu, click the opotion that you want, and then click Apply.

Tips

• You can change the size or font of the note reference mark, footnote, or endnote exactly as you would any other text. Select the note reference mark, footnote, or endnote, and then on theHome tab, under Font, apply the formatting changes that you want.
• If you add, delete, or move a cross-referenced footnote or endnote, you must update the cross-reference number. Hold down CONTROL, click the cross-reference number, and then click Update Field on the shortcut menu. Word updates cross-references automatically when you print.

___________

I tried it and it worked. Note that after you select Footnote, the resulting dialog has radio buttons for choosing Footnote or Endnote. Obviously, choose Endnote.

I found that by going to Help in Word, and searching for "Endnote."

Re: New 2011 MacBook Pro 2.0 Quad Core: bump

Posted by: "jamesrob@sonic.net" jamesrob@sonic.net   jamesrob328i

No answers? OK, perhaps someone can help with just one aspect of this:

How can I recreate the 10.6.8 Snow Leopard environment from my pervious MacBook Pro on the new one? My concerns are as described previously, namely that if I start from a retail SL Install Disk and use Setup Assistant, there will be LOTS of stuff on the old Mac that's newer than what's on the old one. But, if I run all the way through Setup Assistant and Software Update on the new Mac, THEN bring stuff over from the old Mac, I'll have to use Migration Assistant and not be able to integrate my main admin account on the old Mac into the same position on the new one.

I could make a clone of the old Mac's hard drive on an external FW drive with SuperDuper. If I also install SuperDuper on a separate bootable utility partition on that FW drive, can I boot from that utility partition and restore the clone of my MacBook Pro 5.3 to an empty partition on the internal drive of the new MacBook Pro? (the obvious concern there is that there could be machine-specific stuff in the OS that the new machine needs but which won't be on the clone from the old machine).

My guess is that the best thing is to use the retail SL installer, bring in everything from the old Mac when Setup Assistant runs, then run Software Update until it won't run any more.

If someone knows of pointers on the web to my specific question I'll be grateful for that.

Thanks so much,

That should be:

"if I start from a retail SL Install Disk and use Setup Assistant (to bring over stuff from the older machine), there will be LOTS of stuff on the old Mac that's newer than what's on the new one, because my retail SL installer DVD is quite old.

Ditto this question, only on a MBP I could Zoom with cmd-opt and a 2 finger drag on the trackpad. I cannot get this to work with Lion.

FWIW, I so far hate Lion. It has taken too many steps back for us old time Mac users. Steps that have no obviously rational reasons.

I've read that only about 15% of all macs have installed Lion. The price can't be the barrier at $29. It must be the "features". I have not upgraded interestingly, I had upgraded to Leopard on day two of that release. Let's see what the next jungle cat has in store.

In my case it is the lack of Rosetta. I still use PPC-code
applications. This is worse than the ability to run Classic
applications. It was so obvious when you launched a Classic program.
You had to sort of "boot" into OS-9 and the menu bars changed. So
you had a warning which applications you liked were to be eliminated.
Sure, there ARE ways to see what is what, with the get info box or
System Profiler, but it is not as easy, and I am sure you will be
surprised. I do already know about Eudora, AppleWorks, Quicken and
Palm Desktop, but what else do I have that I use so seldom that I
don't even think about them, but will be unpleasantly surprised. A
good example here is my label maker software. I did find a universal
binary for it, but it took me a while to find it; it was not just
automatic.

Keeping in mind that Lion requires at least a Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM, as of October 2011, Mac OS X Lion had sold over 6 million copies worldwide.

If you succeed, please let me know how you did it. I cannot get a new refurb, this same machine, to start up with the retail version of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD even though it the early 2011 MBP originally shipped with Snow Leopard.

I am wondering if a clone of a SL 10.6.8 install would work?

What I can tell you so far is that the machine will start up from an
external FW drive that's loaded with 10.6.8. Next step is to figure out how
that leverages me into getting my old Mac's stuff into a 10.6.8 install on
the new machine.

I haven't even considered the possibility that I couldn't boot the new
refurb from my SL retail install DVD! I made the assumption you did, that SL
WAS the latest/greatest when the machine shipped originally, so SURELY a
retail SL DVD would boot it. Not true!

Holding down the "C" key at boot brings up the SL DVD as a choice for
booting the machine, but if I select it the DVD drive grunts a few
reads/writes, then it's kernel panic time, with the first line of the
onscreen report including "unsupported CPU."

I've discovered that I CAN boot from my FW 10.6.8 "utilities" drive, launch
the SL installer from the retail DVD, and select my empty partition on the
internal drive as a destination for a SL installation, but I've not tried to
RUN the installer yet.

With just 4% of mobile market, Apple owns 52% of profits

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: With just 4% of mobile
market, Apple owns 52% of profits via BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In
Tech by Zach Epstein on 11/4/11

Apple̢۪s iPhone accounted for just 4.2% of the mobile handsets shipped
in the third quarter of 2011, but the company still managed to rake in
more than half of the industry̢۪s profits. Among the eight top cell
phone vendors in the world, Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley said
Apple accounted for 52% of total operating income between them. The
figure is down from 57% in the second quarter. Samsung accounted for
29% of profit among top vendors, up from 18% in the June quarter, and
HTC accounted for 9% of total operating income. RIM̢۪s value share slid
to 7% from 11% in the prior quarter, and Nokia dipped three points to
4%. Read on for more.

“Apple generated a remarkable 52% value share of estimated Q3/C2011
handset industry operating profits among the top 8 OEMs,” Walkley wrote
in a research note on Friday. “With only 4.2% global handset unit
market share, it is remarkable Apple captures more than 50% of industry
profits.”

Walkley also made it a point to highlight Samsung̢۪s meteoric rise among
smartphone vendors. “Demonstrating the importance of a strong
smartphone offerings relative to industry profits, Samsung gained a
remarkable 11 points of value share sequentially with its leading
Android Galaxy S II product offering,” The analyst wrote. “RIM and
Nokia lost a combined 7% value share due to its aging smartphone
portfolios that are in transition.”

Canaccord now expects Apple to ship 29 million iPhone handset in the
fourth quarter of 2011, up from the firm̢۪s earlier estimate of 27
million. Walkley also increased his price target on Apple from $545 to
$560 with a Buy rating.

NYT Blog columnist David Pogue writes,

vinyl/CDs to iPod touch?

Posted by: "Bill Brown" gearedloco2001@yahoo.com   gearedloco2001

Fri Nov 4, 2011 10:40 pm (PDT)



I've got some older CDs as well as some old vinyl records I'd like to put on my
iTouch. I've got a turntable and software to get the records into digital form
on my Mac.

What do I have to do to transmorgify the resulting files into something the
iTouch can play, and how do I download them to the iTouch?

TIA!
