Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with formatting footnotes...

Hi :)
Jorge's answer is excellent and covers many different scenarios.  I am not clear 
what Gena means by "footnotes" but the various different things that i think 
could be meant could all be done using Jorge's answer.

Gena, by footnotes do you mean
1.  Notes added to a document that someone else wrote as students might do in 
text-books or teachers might do to students papers or office-workers might do to 
collaborate on a document?
2.  References notes at the end of a document to show the source of ideas or 
quotes, eg such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(footnotes)#Notes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes

The hundreds of footnotes dealt with each day, are they all in one book or 
document or are they in many different documents (or many articles within a 
magazine or something)?

Jorge's answer covers all those options and could be used for footers and more 
too but there might be something more specifically relevant depending on what 
Gena means by foot-notes.  


Regards from
Tom :)

Hi

I don't know if there are others ways to solve your problem, but I would
sugest this way:

To make a macro (How?) Like this:

1) Menu Tools-Macros-Save Macro
2) Here Appears a little windows that says something like this "Stop to
save macro" (Not to click yet)
3) Menu Insert-(Footnotes-Final Note). Here appears a windows for
Footnotes. Click Accept.
4) Click in window "Stop to save Macro" (Point 2)). Here appear a
window. Select MyMacros-Standard and then Select New Module: Appears a
window: Write the name-> "Footnotes" and Accept.
5) Menu Tools-Macros-Organize Macros-OpenOffice.org Basic... Here appear
a window. Select MyMacros-Standard-"Footnotes" (Your Macro). Click
Asign. Appears a new window. Select Save in
"OpenOffice.org-Writer" (Below the Comands Chart).
6) Now, select ADD, and appear a new window. Here, in the chart
"Category", roll down until the end to find "+ Macros OpenOffice.org".
Click it (+) and there appears + My Macros. Click it and Standard and
select "Footnotes" and Click ADD.
7) Now in the Commands Chart you can find "Footnotes" command. If You
select it you can modify the name if you want, with the command at
right. Then Assure that the tool bar is "Standard" (At the top of Chart)
8) Click Accept.
9) Now, in the Tool Bar of your document Appears a "Footnotes" icon (At
the top of the document). If you click it, it insert a footnote in your
document. Now You not need go to Menu-Insert-Footnotes and make the
footnote each time. With only one click you are going to insert the
footnotes that you need. It respect the consecutive numbers although you
save and close the document and then open and continue working.

I hope this help you to solve your problem. If you need adicional help
say me,

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez
