Add extra space between footnotes
Hello
Is there an automatic way to add extra space between footnotes? Using styles does not work because if a footnote has more than one paragraph then they will also have extra space between them. Thanks in advance... |

Is there no way you can avoid splitting a footnote into multiple
paragraphs? That would be the easiest solution: you could then simply add Space After (or Space Before) to the Footnote Text paragraph style. If you feel that you have to divide a footnote into multiple paragraphs, I can think of two ways to have different formatting for those paragraphs. You can resort to direct formatting (that is, override the style via FormatParagraph). Alternatively, apply a different style than Footnote Text to the paragraphs that should have no spacing between them. This seems to work, but I haven't tested it thoroughly. -- Stefan Blom "Desi" wrote in message ... Hello Is there an automatic way to add extra space between footnotes?

I usually do add Space After to the Footnote Text style. If your footnotes
often have more than one paragraph, I would (a) apply Space Before instead, (b) define a new Footnote Continue style (with no Space Before) and (c) make it the "Style for following paragraph" for Footnote Text. -- Suzanne S.

And I don't think anyone has yet mentioned the line break instead of
paragraph break lazy workaround. On 2/10/05 6:41 AM, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I usually do add Space After to the Footnote Text style.

I would have mentioned that except that it requires even more fancy footwork
(a tab character at minimum) if your footnotes are justified. -- Suzanne S.

Right, I never justify and didn't think about that. Will keep it in mind.
