For example, if you delete the footnote text for a footnote in the footnote area, the
footnote itself remains in place as before – what is gone is merely its footnote text.
If, on the other hand, you select and delete the footnote marker in the text, the
whole footnote (marker and text) is removed, and all the remaining footnotes are
renumbered.
Changing the formatting of footnotes
You can change the formatting of the footnote text or its footnote marker any time.
Formatting footnote text
To change the formatting of the text of a footnote, simply set the text cursor into
the footnote text and apply the desired formatting.
Tip: When you want to change the formatting of the text for all the footnotes in the
entire document, TextMaker can save you a lot of work. All you need to do is
change the “Footnote text” paragraph style that TextMaker creates automatically as
soon as you insert the first footnote.
By default, the text of all footnotes is formatted with this paragraph style. Thus,
changes you make to the “Footnote text” paragraph style will affect all footnote
texts (except those whose formatting you have changed manually).
To edit this style, proceed as follows:
1. Invoke Format > Paragraph Style.
2. Select the “Footnote Text” style from the list; then click on Edit.
3. A dialog appears. Here, make the desired changes. Hint: You can also change
the character formatting by clicking the Character button on the Paragraph
property sheet.
4. Exit the dialogs with OK, followed by Close.
You will find general information about the use of styles in chapter “Styles”
beginning on page 117.
Formatting footnote markers
TextMaker automatically formats the footnote marker as superscript. However, you
can change the marker’s formatting according to your preference. To do this, select
