Hi Bastien, Sorry I wasn't clear. I did try removing the footnotes from the list of activated links. My problem is really different: When I try to sort footnotes with C-u C-c C-x f s all my legal citations such as: See Golodetz & Co Inc v Czarnikow-Rionda Co Inc (The Galatia) [1979] 2 Lloyd's Rep 450 produce new footnotes: [1979] DEFINITION NOT FOUND: 1979 As I said, I can live with this thanks to hacks suggested on this list, but it seems that I am always running into the problem in contexts that require new functions or macros. I'm not much of a programmer, but I was looking for some simple way to disable those pesky plain footnotes for *all* purposes. Thanks for you interest in this, and have a good Christmas!
