Publisher > How to handle notes correctly?

[indave]

Ciao,
I tried to create a custom style for the notes. I couldn't. I can't seem to:

• distance the notes from the top content;
• change the top thread (looks fixed);
• to place the notes at the bottom of everything.

Do you know how best to handle it?
Thank you

The Notes panel allows a lot of control, but I think there are some restrictions for Footnotes in Tables. 

One, I think, is that they are forced to appear just below the Table. (I can't check right now.)

1. By "distance the notes from the top content" do you mean change the space of the footnote from the table? For that you would set Note > Positioning > Min Gap Before to something greater than 0.
2. I'm unsure what you mean by "change the top thread" - could you please explain in more detail or show what you want to achieve?
3. As Walt wrote, you can't place footnotes from a table anywhere other than below the table. A table is like a text frame, footnotes will appear below rather than below another text frame on the same page. I assume what you want is for the footnotes to appear below the page's main text frame but there's no way to do that in Publisher. And what's worse, the footnotes aren't numbered in the way you would expect. For example,  if there is one footnote before the inline table and one footnote after, and one footnote in the inline table, they will be numbered as follows. This is because Publisher numbers all the footnotes in a story (series of linked text frames) before numbering the footnotes in pinned tables. So there is no way to use footnotes with document-wide numbering in pinned tables at this time.

Ciao @MikeTO,
thank you for responding to me. I also thank @walt.farrell.
I was able to fix the distance of the note from the table. Evidently the value I had put in was little compared to something I don't know....
In addition, there is that annoying thread that you cannot manage in any way... at this point it is better to manage the note (at least regarding the tables) in a manual way ;(
