Hide footnote pane in Draft View
I spend most of my writing time in the Draft View, as it provides the largest amount of real estate + the styles area. But I think the biggest downside to the Draft View is when you have to work on footnotes. Does anyone know of a quick method (or macro) to hide the footnote pane and go back to where you were before opening the footnote pane? (I think a macro that will close the footnote pane and put the active cursor back to where it was right before opening the footnote pane would be tremendously valuable.)

The footnote pane has a close button...
For a macro, try this:
For a macro, try this:
Code: Select all
Sub CloseFootnotePane()
If Selection.StoryType = wdFootnotesStory And _
ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView Then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Close
End If
End Sub

super! Yes, it has a close button, but I'd like to keep my fingers on the keyboard as much as I can without having to touch the mouse.HansV wrote:The footnote pane has a close button...
