divider appears by default) and the first line of footnote text.
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.
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.
Footnote split across column.
If Allow Split Footnotes is turned on, you can still prevent an individual footnote from splitting by placing the
insertion point in the footnote text, choosing Keep Options from the Paragraph palette menu, and selecting the 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 and
the divider line that 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. (See “To add rules above or below paragraphs” on
page 216.) If you don’t want a rule to appear, deselect Rule On.
To delete footnotes
❖ To delete a footnote, select the footnote reference number that appears in text, and then press Backspace or Delete.
If you delete only the footnote text, the footnote reference number and footnote structure remain.
Tips for using footnotes
As you create footnotes, 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.
• 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 choosing View > Story Editor > Expand All Footnotes or Collapse All Footnotes.
• Youcanselectandapplycharacterandparagraphformattingtofootnotetext.Youcanalsoselectandchangethe
appearance of the footnote reference number, but the recommended method is using the Document Footnote
Options dialog box.
