How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes in Word
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. |

Answer: How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes in Word
Hi there! I can definitely help you with changing the default formatting for footnotes and endnotes in Word 2007. Here are the steps:
That's it! Now, all new footnotes or endnotes you create in any Word document will have the formatting options you just set as default. Note that this will not affect any existing footnotes or endnotes in your document, but you can easily reformat them individually as needed.

How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes in Word
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. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Prof. JR" wrote in message ...

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.

How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes in W
Hi John,
You are already in the correct spot. You just need to look a little bit further. In the menu, at the bottom there should be 3 buttons. Click the right one "Manage Styles". In the window popping up, on the Edit tab, you can then select "Footnote text" or "Endnote text". By clicking on modify you can set the format exactly the way you want.

How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes--THANKS
Hi Yves,
Thanks so much for the help; this works, although I can't seem to permanently set the default differently for footnotes and endnotes. For example, articles to journals typically need single-spaced footnotes, while my book editors want double-spaced endnotes (presumably so that the endnotes can be laid next to the text and edited). But whichever spacing I set in the "Manage Styles" ends up applying to both, even if I select footnote text and apply single-space, and then select endnote text and apply double-space. This is a pretty minor problem since the formatting can be set once for a document, which would use either footnotes or endnotes. Thanks again.

How do I change default formatting for footnotes/endnotes--THANKS
Hi Prof. JR,
A Style can't have more than one definition within the same document. A change to the 'Footnote Text' Style shouldn't affect the 'Endnote Text' Style, since the two aren't interdependently related - they're both based on the documents 'Normal' Style. So, only a change to the 'Normal' Style would affect both the 'Footnote Text' Style and the 'Endnote Text' Style. If you need to create documents using different layouts for the 'Footnote Text' Style and/or the 'Endnote Text' Style Ieg for journals and books), you'll need two templates. The neat thing about this is that, if you use different versions of the same Style in the two documents, text copied from one to the other will change format to suit the Style definitions in the target document. If you want to use the same document for more than one purpose, then a simply change to the Style definition will update all the text based on that Style in one go. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Prof. JR" wrote in message ...
