We have had a problem with the MLA Note style.  When using it for footnotes
in Microsoft Word 5.1, we found that an extra "1" appeared next to every
footnote number when we formatted the citations.  For example, footnote 3
appeared as footnote 31.  Has anyone else had this problem with this style,
and if so, how did you work around it?

Also, for the suggestion box:  Footnotes in MLA (according to our
humanities MLA experts) should include a single page number indicating the
location of the quoted reference.  They should not include the entire page
range of the article, book, whatever.  We modified our MLA Note style
(removing the page range and the carriage return reference suffix) so that
people can type in the particular page reference at the end of the
footnote, after the EndNote citation.  For future versions of EndNote,
maybe the MLA Note style should have the page range removed, as well as the
carriage return as the reference suffix.
