Layout and design

Last updated 6/6/2015

Start At Specify the number used for the first footnote in the story. Each story in a document begins with the same Start

At number. If you have multiple documents in a book with continued page numbering, start the footnote numbering

in each chapter to continue where the last chapter ends.

The Start At option is especially useful for documents in a book. Footnote numbering is not continued across

documents in a book.

Restart Numbering Every If you want numbering to restart within the document, select this option and choose Page,

Spread, or Section to determine when footnote numbering is restarted. Some numbering styles, such as asterisks (*),

work best when reset on every page.

Show Prefix/Suffix In Select this option to show prefixes or suffixes in the footnote reference, the footnote text, or both.

Prefixes appear before the number (such as [1) and suffixes appear after the number (such as 1]). This option is

especially useful for placing footnotes within characters, such as [1]. Type a character or characters or select an option

for Prefix, Suffix, or both. To select special characters, click the icons next to the Prefix and Suffix controls to display a

menu.

If the footnote reference number is spaced too close to the preceding text, adding one of the space characters as a prefix

improves the appearance. You can also apply a character style to the reference number.

Position This option determines the appearance of the footnote reference number, which is superscript by default. If

you prefer to format the number using a character style (such as a character style that includes OpenType superscript

settings), choose Apply Normal, and specify the character style.

Character Style Choose a character style to format the footnote reference number. For example, instead of using

superscript, select a character style at a normal position with an elevated baseline. The menu displays the character

styles available in the Character Styles panel.

Paragraph Style Choose a paragraph style that formats the footnote text for all footnotes in the document. The menu

displays the paragraph styles available in the Paragraph Styles panel. By default, the [Basic Paragraph] style is used. The

[Basic Paragraph] style may not have the same appearance as the default font settings for the document.

Separator The separator determines the white space that appears between the footnote number and the start of the

footnote text. To change the separator, first select or delete the existing separator, and then choose a new separator. You

can include multiple characters. To insert white space characters, use the appropriate metacharacter, such as ^m for em

space.

Footnote layout options

The following options appear in the Layout section of the Footnote Options dialog box:

Minimum Space Before First Footnote This option determines the minimum amount of space between the bottom of

the column and the first footnote line. You cannot use a negative value. Any Space Before setting in the footnote

paragraph is ignored.

Space Between Footnotes This option determines the distance between the last paragraph of one footnote and the first

paragraph of the next footnote in a column. You cannot use a negative value. The Space Before/Space After values in a

footnote’s paragraph apply only if the footnote includes multiple paragraphs.

First Baseline Offset This option determines the distance between the start of the footnote area (where the footnote

divider appears by default) and the first line of footnote text.

For information on the First Baseline options, see Change text frame properties.

Place End Of Story Footnotes At Bottom Of Text Select this option if you want the last column’s footnotes to appear just

below the text in the last frame of the story. If this option is not selected, any footnote in the last frame of the story

appears at the bottom of the column.
