Document-wide settings for Footnotes, and differences between footnotes on the same page


Recommended Posts

I was going over my footnotes, and I noticed that on a page with four short footnotes, the last one had extra space between it and the previous one. When I went to investigate, I noticed something else, which is that I can't always change the document-wide Footnote settings. That's actually something I've noticed before, but haven't asked about yet. I'm obviously missing what causes it to get greyed-out. I've attached a video which shows what I'm talking about.

It's probably greyed out because these notes are no longer set according to the Document wide options but were in some way customized.  

It happens easily without being noticed, alack…

I don't know (or I don't remember) how to revert customized notes to document wide ones.

OK, you have to select the customized notes and open the menu in the 'hamburger' button next to the Notes tab label.

There, you choose to reset the selected notes to the parameters of the document (not sure about the translation…).

Thanks, I figure that out. So odd. It would be great if there was a way to see which footnotes have been customized. One side-effect of resetting all the footnotes to Default is that any text that is modified, such as adding Italics, is reset as well. So now I need to go through my 1200+ footnotes and fix all the formatting.

Would love to see better reviewing of footnotes implemented. I suggested this last year (post link below) and now that I need to go through over 1200 footnotes and fix all the formatting, this would make it so much easier.
