How do we format footnote styles?
We prefer footnotes that include an automatic number and then a hanging
indent to the right of the number. As such, the footnote numbers will all reside in a column of their own next to the left margin, while all the text of the footnotes, including multiple-line footnotes, will be evenly indented together to the right of the footnote numbers. Is there a way to change the footnote style so that this will happen automatically? The change is very easily accomplished in WordPerfect, but we don't see how to change the footnote stye in Word 2007? |

You can modify the Footnote Text style to have a hanging indent, but you
will have to insert the tab character after the reference number manually (though see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...cptFnotes.htm). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne. This limitation is a real shame, especially since other
programs have much simpler, yet extremely flexible, features for quickly automating such changes. Thank You ******************** "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
