    Section
    .FootnoteOptions .StartNumber

    #Remarks

    The StartNumber value is ignored when the FootnoteOptions.RestartType property is set to NoteRestartType.NewSection or NoteRestartType.NewPage.

    The code sample below shows how to change the footnotes format so they appear as follows:

    IMAGE

    using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
    {
        wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Document.docx");
        Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
        FootnoteOptions footnoteOptions = document.Sections[0].FootnoteOptions;
        footnoteOptions.NumberingFormat = NumberingFormat.UpperRoman;
        footnoteOptions.StartNumber = 5;
    }
