Not a biggy and apologies if this has been raised previously...

The positioning values shown for Footnotes, Sidenotes and Endnotes are always displayed to one decimal place less than the value set in the Decimal Places for Unit Types User Interface Settings in Publisher.

On Windows, they seem to be shown to as many decimal places as you specify in the Notes panel, regardless of the Settings for the User Interface:

Hi @walt.farrell,

Thanks for taking a look...

On Mac if I set the decimal places to six, then type a value in the Notes panel to six decimal places and hit Enter to accept the value, as soon as I click the up or down arrow for the respective Notes option it now only ever displays the value to five decimal places and this is repeated as the unit value decimal place number is changed, i.e, set it to five decimal places and click the up and down arrows in the notes panel and it now only displays to four decimal places and so on...

Did you try the spinner arrows just out of interest?

The other thing I'm seeing is that Footnotes and Endnotes aren't adhering to the document unit, they both appear to be stuck using points, and only sidenotes appear to be utilising the document unit.

Weirdly, any use of the arrows on that field (or the mouse wheel) reverts to inches without decimals. So, from .123456 (enter) if I click to go up it goes to 1 inch, or if I click to go down it goes to 0 inches.

My experiment was with Footnotes, and it uses document units if Show Text in Points is turned off in Settings,

Which doesn't feel quite right...

Confirmed, the same here...
