To the question. I am currently scanning some of my reference books to convert them to Epub format. As they are reference books they have a number of footnotes, so as I get to those I have been numbering them according to chapter and footnote number. ie... 2-4 is chapter 2, footnote 4. On the footnote box I put 2-4 in the "Custom mark" box and click on "Insert." In the finished epub file the footnote looks like this," 2-{4} " with only the 4 being a link to the footnote. On occasion, notably in the Appendix, I get this," {A3-2} " with the entire A3-2 being a link to the footnote. I prefer the whole thing being a link since it gives more area in the e-reader for the fingers of people with large hands such as myself. I have been manually adjusting the code in the finale file to render the whole thing as a link. To my knowledge I am entering every footnote in the same manner, so I am at a loss as to understand why they come out differently. Can you offer any guidance to me so that I can get consistent results?
FYI my documents are scanned to PDF and then converted using OCR software. I then correct misspellings and such and copy the file to Notepad in Windows 7. I then copy and paste in Atlantis for final formatting and editing.
Thank you for any help you may provide. And again, EXCELLENT product!!
