Beta 1.6

Post by John Stafford »

The footnote/endnote system is very good. A couple of things might enhance it a little:

1. The footnote format dialogue could have a setting to change the footnote font type and size. I know it can be done manually but would be a nice convenience.

2. In some footnote formatting arrangements (Chicago and others), when a footnote continues on the following page, it is indicated by a separator line that extends from margin to margin on that page. That would be a very nice touch.

3. Can the normal separator line be edited?

Excellent beta. Thanks. John

Yes, when a note continues on the following page, the separator line extends from margin to margin on that page. This is how things work in Atlantis.

The present version of Atlantis does not allow editing the separator line.

The "Font..." button has been added to the "Insert | Footnote..." dialog of the new beta. You can use it to specify the font format for the footnote or endnote reference marks. This option is shared by all the document sections (it is not section-specific).

Thanks for the update. However, I believe what I also have in mind is the ability to change the actual footnote font itself from the fn dialogue, not just the fn number. Going in the right direction though. Thanks. John

Re: font type and size of footnotes or endnotes

Greetings--
To adjust the font type and size of footnotes or endnotes, you need to adjust the font properties of the corresponding styles (Footnote or Endnote style).
As for the reference marks themselves, their font properties are set in the "Insert | Footnote..." dialog.
Cheers
Robert
