Syntax
expression. StartingNumber
expression Required. A variable that represents a 'Footnotes' collection.
Remarks
You must be in print layout view to see line numbering.
When applied to page numbers, this property returns or sets the beginning page number for the specified HeaderFooter object. This number may or may not be visible on the first page, depending on the setting of the ShowFirstPageNumber property. The RestartNumberingAtSection property, if set to False, will override the StartingNumber property so that page numbering can continue from the previous section.
Example
This example creates a new document, sets the starting number for footnotes to 10, and then adds a footnote at the insertion point.
Set myDoc = Documents.Add
With myDoc.Footnotes
.StartingNumber = 10
.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Text:="Text for a footnote"
End With
