Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 10/15/2008 10:07:55 PM It depends on what style you're using; many styles do use p. and pp. for "page" and "pages," though these are often omitted when the page number follows a volume number. You need to check the requirements of the style manual you're following. -- Suzanne S.

I would never have a p in my footnote, apart from soggy socks a plain old simple number is more than adequate, only a fool would wonder what the number could possibly mean or relate too so why type more than you have too?
