hi devs,
thanks for all the improvements you made with msWord.
i'd like to refer to something about reading the footnotes numbers.
in microsoft word, there are 3 patterns of numbering the footnotes
one of them is a continious numbering
where all the footnotes being numbered in a continious way from the start of the text to its end
i.e, if the last footnote in page 1 has number 5 then the first foot note in page 2 is number 6
and so on till the end of the file
the second pattern is starting a new numbering for each page
this makes the first footnote in page 6 for example gets number 1
and nvda at the moment always reads the foot notes numbers according to the continious numbering
this means when i choose to number the footnotes as for each page separately, nvda reads the footnotes numbers according to their existance in the file
not according to its number in the page
this is our arabic mailing list members feedback.

There is no way I can see to solve this currently. MS Word does not seem to expose the resultant footnote label written to the screen anywhere in its API. We currently use the footnote object's index property.
However, I should point out that the footnote within the document and the related footnote entry in the footnotes pane should still have the same value, even if its not what is really displayed on screen.
Closing because the issue was investigated and unfortunately, there was no way to solve it as stated in #2127 (comment)
Unless @michaelDCurran has additional information to provide, closing as cantfix
