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.</p>

</div><p>As you type, the footnote area
expands while the text frame remains the same size. The footnote
area continues to expand upward until it reaches the line with the
footnote reference. At that point, the footnote is split to the
next text frame column or threaded frame, if possible. If the footnote cannot
be split and if more text is added than can fit in the footnote
area, the line containing the footnote reference is moved to the
next column, or an overset icon appears. In such a case, you should
resize the frame or change the text formatting.</p>
<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />When
the insertion point is in a footnote, you can choose Type&#160;&gt;

you use this option frequently, consider creating a keyboard shortcut.</div></div>

<dl><dt class="dlterm">Numbering Style</dt>
<dd>Choose the numbering style for footnote reference numbers. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Start At</dt>
<dd>Specify the number used for the first footnote in the story.
Each story in a document begins with the same Start At number. If
you have multiple documents in a book with continued page numbering,
you may want to start the footnote numbering in each chapter to
continue where the last chapter left off.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Restart Numbering Every</dt>
<dd>If you want numbering to restart within the document, select
this option and choose Page, Spread, or Section to determine when
footnote numbering is restarted. Some numbering styles, such as asterisks&#160;(*),
work best when reset every page.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Show Prefix/Suffix In</dt>
<dd>Select this option to show prefixes or suffixes in the footnote
reference, the footnote text, or both. Prefixes appear before the
number (such as&#160;[1) and suffixes appear after the number
(such as&#160;1]). This option is especially useful for placing
footnotes within characters, such as&#160;[1]. Type a character
or characters or select an option for Prefix, Suffix, or both. To
select special characters, click the icons next to the Prefix and
Suffix controls to display a menu.<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />If you
think the footnote reference number is too close to the preceding
text, adding one of the space characters as a prefix might improve
the appearance. You can also apply a character style to the reference
number.</div></dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Position</dt>
<dd>This option determines
the appearance of the footnote reference number, which is superscript
by default. If you prefer to format the number using a character
style (such as a character style that includes OpenType superscript
settings), choose Apply Normal, and specify the character style.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Character Style</dt>
<dd>You may want to choose a character style to format the footnote
reference number. For example, instead of using superscript, you
might want to use a character style at a normal position with an
elevated baseline. The menu displays the character styles available
in the Character Styles panel.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Paragraph Style</dt>
<dd>You may want to choose a paragraph style that formats the footnote
text for all footnotes in the document. The menu displays the paragraph styles
available in the Paragraph Styles panel. By default, the [Basic
Paragraph] style is used. Note that the [Basic Paragraph] style
may not have the same appearance as the default font settings for
the document.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Separator</dt>
<dd>The separator determines the white space that appears between
the footnote number and the start of the footnote text. To change
the separator, first select or delete the existing separator, and
then choose a new separator. You can include multiple characters.
To insert white space characters, use the appropriate metacharacter,
such as ^m for em space. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p></dl>

following options appear in the Layout section of the Footnote Options dialog
box:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Minimum Space Before First Footnote</dt>
<dd>This
option determines the minimum amount of space between the bottom
of the column and the first footnote line. You cannot use a negative
value. Any Space Before setting in the footnote paragraph is ignored.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Space Between Footnotes</dt>
<dd>This option determines the distance between the last paragraph
of one footnote and the first paragraph of the next footnote in
a column. You cannot use a negative value. The Space Before/Space
After values in a footnote’s paragraph apply only if the footnote
includes multiple paragraphs.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">First Baseline Offset</dt>
<dd>This option determines the distance between the start of the
footnote area (where the footnote divider appears by default) and
the first line of footnote text. <p>For information on the First Baseline
options, see <a href="WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f8ba.html">Change text frame properties</a>.</p>
</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Place End Of Story Footnotes At Bottom Of Text</dt>
<dd>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.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Allow Split Footnotes</dt>
<dd>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.<div class="fignone"><img alt="" id="iu_23" src="images/iu_23.png" /><div class="figdesc">Footnote split across column.</div><br /></div><div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />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 panel 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&#160;&gt; Insert Break Character&#160;&gt; Column Break
to control where the footnote is split.</div></dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Rule Above</dt>
<dd>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. If you don’t want a rule to appear, deselect Rule On. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p></dl>
