Change default footnote font setting
My defaul font is 12-pitch. Word automatically sets the footnote font to
10-pitch. I would like to set the default for the "Footnote" style to a smaller pitch, but it is not available in the "styles" list, nor can I select all similar. I do a lot of research papers. I post the URL in the footnote. Today's URLs tend to be very long, and leaves half a line above as it jumps to the next line. By reducing the font to 9 or 8, the notes are more presentable. I also prefer to have them in a different font style. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Change default footnote font setting
With the selection in a footnote, is use select Styles and formatting from
the Format menu, the Footnote text style will be available so that you can modify it. -- Hope this helps.

Change default footnote font setting
The Style you're looking for is Footnote Text. Contrary to Doug's
instructions, this style will NOT be listed in the Styles and Formatting task pane even if you select All Styles, but there are several other ways to access it: 1. In any version of Word, you can force the Styles dropdown to show all styles (ALL styles, not just what the S&F pane lists as "All Styles") by pressing Shift while you click on the arrow beside the box. The only reason this would be helpful is if you had changed the font of a single footnote and wanted to update the style by example. 2. If you're using Word 2000 or earlier, you can choose Format | Style, and select the Footnote Text style, and choose Modify. 3. In Word 2002 or 2003, choose Custom in the S&F task pane, then click Styles... in the Format Settings dialog and proceed as in (2). 4. In Word 2003 (possibly 2002 as well), right-click in a Footnote Text paragraph, choose Styles..., and proceed as in (2). -- Suzanne S.

Change default footnote font setting
I did NOT say that the style would be listed in the Styles and Formatting
task pane when you select All Style. I said that with the selection in the text of the footnote, if you select Styles and Formatting from the Format menu, the Footnote Text style will appear. I perhaps should have added that you need to be in Print Layout view. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Change default footnote font setting
I'm still not seeing it in the task pane, even with "All styles" selected
(though I do see it in the Styles list), regardless of view. -- Suzanne S.

Change default footnote font setting
FWIW, even in Word 97 and Word 2000 you can right-click a Footnote

Chagrin
I totally forgot about the right-click availability as I set up all my S&F in the S&F menu.
