Re: [libreoffice-users] Footnote formatting

Eddie,

Go up to "Tools", "Footnotes and Endnotes" and you can control the 
spacing after the Footnote Character from there.

Also, as far as styles are concerned, the number in the footnote itself 
is the "Footnote Character" and can be formatted by the character style 
of that name.

I'd love to read that paper when you're done. Sounds fascinating.
