First: Of course this "workaround" doesn't work neither around nor backwards or whatever. Cos a converted pagenumber in a footnote still is just one number which can not be replaced various times. Second: this brilliant n+1 idea has been realized as a macro back in the 60's I guess and is called "Renumber". Shame. Anyway, please be so kind and forget my stupid mail immediatley, will you? Thanks Matze, (chairman of 1. village idiot club germany)
