[Where are "Decorations" documented?]

If you don't have Publisher generate them for you, you'll lose the hyperlinking between the footnote reference and the footnote text. Just thought I'd mention that in case it matters, though I suppose it matters more for end-notes than for footnotes on a page.

Thanks for pointing this out Walt.

But it doesn't matter in this case: it's a print-only publication.

You are right – it is counter-intuitive. But I guess we can get used to almost anything in a worthy cause!

Many thanks GarryP.

I think you've set me off in the right direction.

[Where are "Decorations" documented?]

I'm working on a 400-page book which has lots of numbered footnotes. The author is providing the footnotes so I don't need AFP to  generate them. The first footnote on a page needs a fine rule above it – perhaps 0.5pt extending from the left margin to, say, 40mm from the left margin. And, say, 3mm above the first line of text.

Since I can't find where these settings are documented, I've been starting from the (scant) examples in the AFP Workbook and modifying them using a process of trial and error. When I try to edit the settings (Text Styles > Decorations) of, e.g. the rule weight or its distance above the text below, AFP just crashes. Am I asking the impossible?

Have I missed the comprehensive explanation of these settings in the Help, or perhaps online? I'm fed up with watching interminable YouTube videos that all restate the obvious without answering my questions.
