Layout and design

Allow Split Footnotes Select this option if you want footnotes to break across a column when the footnote exceeds the

amount of space available for it in that column. If splitting is not allowed, the line containing the footnote reference

number moves to the next column, or the text becomes overset.

Even when Allow Split Footnotes is turned on, you can prevent individual footnotes from splitting by placing the

insertion point in the footnote text. Select Keep Options from the Paragraph panel menu, and then select Keep Lines

Together and All Lines In Paragraph options. If the footnote contains multiple paragraphs, use the Keep With Next X Lines

option in the first paragraph of the footnote text. You can choose Type > Insert Break Character > Column Break to control

where the footnote is split.

Rule Above Specify the location and appearance of the footnote divider line that appears above the footnote text. A

divider line (also called a “separator line”) also appears above any footnote text continued in a separate frame. The

options you select apply to either the First Footnote In Column or Continued Footnotes, whichever is selected in the

menu. These options are similar to those that appear when you specify a paragraph rule. If you want to remove the

footnote divider line, deselect Rule On.

Work with footnote text

As you edit footnote text, note the following:

• When the insertion point is in footnote text, choosing Edit > Select All selects all the footnote text for that footnote,

but no other footnote or text.

• Use the arrow keys to navigate among footnotes.

• Footnote numbering is not continued across documents in a book. If you don’t want numbering to restart in each

document with the book, change the Start At value manually in each document after the editing is final.

• In Story Editor, you can click the footnote icon to expand or collapse a footnote. You can expand or collapse all

footnotes by choosing View > Story Editor > Expand All Footnotes or Collapse AllFootnotes.

• In Galley view or Story view, you can click the footnote icon to expand or collapse footnotes. You can expand or

collapse all footnotes by right-clicking (Windows) or Ctrl-clicking (Mac OS) a footnote and choosing Expand All

Footnotes or Collapse All Footnotes.

• You can select and apply character and paragraph formatting to footnote text. You can also select and change the

appearance of the footnote reference number, but the recommended method is using the Document Footnote

Options dialog box.

• When you cut or copy text that includes the footnote reference number, the footnote text is also added to the

clipboard. If you copy the text to a different document, the footnotes in that text use the characteristics of the new

document’s numbering and layout appearance.

• If you accidentally delete the footnote number at the start of the footnote text, you can add it back. Place the

insertion point at the beginning of the footnote text, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS), and choose

Insert Special Character > Markers > Footnote Number.
