Hirtarchery Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 Hello, I'm writing on the forum in order to get more information about footnotes. I'm currently struggling with the formatting of the footnotes. As you can see from the images, as soon as I apply a text wrap to my image, the footnotes don't stay at the bottom of the text box. Even when I change the footnote options from bottom of frame to bottom of column, the problem persists. I've managed to place it in the text without it moving everything around, but by moving it slightly the problem returns. Changing the wrapping parameters doesn't help. I hope my explanations are understandable (English isn't my mother tongue) and I thank you for your help. PS: I've blurred the text for copyright reasons, I apologize. Quote
bbrother Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 I think this is a bug. Because no matter what I would do just like you i can't set the footnotes to stickto bottom of text frame. Everything works to some point but when you move te picture too far down, it will mess up the footnotes position. APub_footnotes_textwrap_problem.mp4 Quote
MikeTO Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 I think this may have been reported before but I can't find a thread. I agree that this is a bug that needs to be fixed. Here's a test document. Drag the bottom size handle of the rectangle down just a hair. There is lots of space for the text to move down but Publisher forces the text to the next frame which doesn't exist. footnote flow.afpub Hirtarchery 1 Quote Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.6 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.6 for macOS Sequoia 15.5, MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) and iPad Air (M2)
