Creating footnotes
To create a footnote
A footnote consists of two linked parts: the footnote reference number that appears in text, and the footnote text that
appears at the bottom of the column. You can create footnotes or import them from Word or RTF documents.
Footnotes are automatically numbered as they are added to a document. Numbering restarts in each story. You can
control the numbering style, appearance, and layout of footnotes. You cannot add footnotes to tables or to footnote
text.
1 Place the insertion point where you want the footnote reference number to appear.
2 Choose Type > Insert Footnote.
3 Type the footnote text.

continues to expand upward until it reaches the line with the footnote reference. At that point, the footnote is split
to the next page, if possible. If the footnote cannot be split and if more text is added than can fit in the footnote area,
