A footnote is a reference or explanatory information to a word or paragraph of a text.
A distinction is made between footnotes and endnotes. Regular footnotes are placed at the bottom of the page, and endnotes are placed at the end of a section or document.
Footnotes consist of the following elements:
•A footnote mark which is placed immediately after the word or paragraph to which it refers.
•The footnote number and text placed at the bottom of the page, below the separator bar following the main text.
•Find and Replace data
In the current version of MyOffice Text the following rules apply: •Regular footnotes support consecutive numbering throughout the document. For endnotes, either consecutive numbering or section numbering is supported if configured in a third-party text editor. •Arabic numerals are used for regular footnotes. Endnotes are numbered using the format , , , .... or the format selected when working with the document in a third-party text editor, if this format is supported in MyOffice Text. •By default, endnotes are displayed at the end of the document. End-of-section display is supported if it is configured in a third-party text editor. Footnotes may not be added to any objects other than tables, comments, and footers.
To insert a footnote, do the following: 1.Specify where you want to insert a footnote in one of the following ways: •Place the mouse cursor at the desired location of the text. •Highlight the text fragment after which you want to insert a footnote. •Place the cursor or highlight the table cell to which you want to add a footnote. •Select the cell range to which you want to add a footnote. In this case, the footnote character will be placed after the last character of the lower right cell. 2.Add a footnote in one of the following ways: •In the Command menu, select > . In the sub-menu that opens, select the desired footnote type. •On the Toolbar, in the section, click the button. On the insert pane that appears, place the cursor on the menu and in the window that opens select the desired footnote type. •Press ++ to insert a regular footnote or ++ to insert an endnote. 3.A footnote symbol will appear at the specified location in the document and a footnote number will appear at the bottom of the page, section, or document. Enter the footnote text after the footnote number. If the document contains no other footnotes, the regular footnote is assigned the number and the endnote is assigned the symbolwhen inserted. If the document contains regular footnotes, the regular footnote is assigned a sequential number corresponding to its position relative to other regular footnotes. If the document contains endnotes, the following applies to them: •The footnote format of the current document is applied. •A sequence number corresponding to its position relative to other endnotes is assigned. |
When you hover the cursor over a footnote in the main text of the document, a pop-up window with the text of the footnote is displayed. To go to the footnote text, press and click on the footnote mark. The cursor automatically moves to the footnote text at the end of the page, section, or document. |
Footnotes can be copied, cut, and pasted within a single document or between MyOffice Text documents. Footnotes may not be inserted in any objects other than tables, comments and headers and/or footers.
You can cut, copy and paste: •Text with a footnote. •Only the footnote. To do this, cut/copy and paste the footnote mark. When you paste cut or copied footnotes, the same numbering rules apply as when you paste new footnotes. |
Editing and formatting of the footnote text is performed the same way as editing or formatting the main text of a document. |
To delete a footnote, do one of the following: •Delete the footnote mark in the main body of the document. The footnote number and text at the end of a page, section or document will be deleted automatically. •Select the footnote text or place the cursor anywhere in the footnote text at the end of a page, section, or document. Right-click the selected text and select in the shortcut menu. The footnote mark will be automatically deleted in the main body of the document. When you delete a footnote, the numbering of the remaining footnotes is automatically updated. |
