checkbox labeled “Automatically update the date and time when the document is

opened.”

4

Adding Footnotes

When you mark items to be footnoted, Pages automatically generates and formats

footnotes that appear at the bottom of the page. You can choose Arabic (1, 2, 3) or

Roman (i, ii, iii) numeral styles. You can also number footnotes continuously through

the document, or restart numbering for each document section or page.

To add a footnote:

1

Place the insertion point at the end of the word where you want the footnote number

to appear.

2

Choose Insert > Footnote.

A footnote number appears and the insertion point moves to the corresponding

footnote field at the bottom of the page.

3

Type the footnote information.

You can format footnote text and footnote numbers independently of each other.

However, whichever footnote style you choose (Arabic or Roman numerals), it will be

the same throughout the document.

To select Arabic or Roman numerals for all footnotes:

1

Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar), and then click the

Document Inspector button. Then click Document.

2

Choose “1,2,3” or “i, ii, ii” from the Format pop-up menu.

To restart footnote numbering:

m

Choose Restart Each Page or Restart Each Section from the Numbering pop-up in the

Document pane of the Document Inspector. (To learn about dividing your document

into sections, see “Varying Document Formatting Using Section Breaks” on page 99.)
