By default, TextMaker automatically inserts a separator line between the text and
the footnote area. If you wish, you can specify a custom format for this line, or
even disable it.
In this section you will learn everything you need to know about footnotes. The
following topics are covered:
Inserting and editing footnotes

Inserting and editing footnotes
When, at some point in your text, you want to refer your reader to an explanatory
remark, simply insert a footnote at that point and then type the explanatory remark.
TextMaker does the rest (the formatting, placement and numbering of the footnote)
for you.
You insert a footnote this way:
1. Position the text cursor immediately after the word or phrase to which you want
to append the footnote.
2. Invoke the Insert > Footnote command. A sub-menu opens. Select the Footnote
command from the sub-menu.
3. A dialog box appears. There you can specify whether the footnote marker
should be numbered automatically or assigned a user-defined number.
Normally, you should leave the setting at Auto numbered. If you change the
setting to Custom, you must enter a number for the footnote yourself, and the
footnote will then be assigned this number.
4. When you confirm with OK, TextMaker inserts a superscripted footnote marker
(normally, an automatically generated number). It then creates an area for the
footnote at the bottom of the page, inserts a copy of the footnote marker in this
area, and repositions the text cursor in this area immediately following the
marker.
5. Now you can enter the text of the footnote.
