Default How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes in W

Hi,

Thanks for your help, but I fear that I need mo In Word 2007, when one
hits Alt -o,s what appears is the "Style" box that can otherwise be found on
the "Home" tab of the Ribbon when clicking the arrow in the lower right-hand
corner. This box merely reproduces a menu of the preset styles available in
the "Styles" section of the "Home" tab.

So, maybe I'm not following correctly and, if so, I apologize.

John

Hi,

You can change the layout, fonts, etc of the footnote and endnote Styles (eg via Alt-o, s, selecting the Style, then Modify|Format &
choose the attributes would want to alter). If you save the Style changes back to your document template, they'll apply to all new
documents based on that template.

I've been looking for a simple way to change the (inadequate and for my field
incorrect) default formatting for footnotes and endnotes in Word 2007. The
footnote/endnote section on the "Reference" tab that appears on the Ribbon
gives no way to change formatting such as font size and indentation, even on
the €śFootnote and Endnote€ť box that appears when you click the arrow in the
lower right corner. (This seems to me the sensible spot for being able to
permanently change footnote/endnote formatting.)

Each individual note can, of course, be re-formatted, but I would like to
change setting for all notes so that the style matches my discipline. Ive
searched through the €śHelp€ť feature of Word 2007, and through the Microsoft
online resources, but cant find an answer to what seems a relatively simple
matter.

Thanks in advance for whatever help I can get.
