A Reference number B Footnote text
As you type in Layout view, the footnote area expands while the text frame remains the same size. The footnote area
continues to expand upward until it reaches the line with the footnote reference. At that point, the footnote is split to
the next page, if possible. If the footnote cannot be split, and if more text is added than can fit in the footnote area, the
line containing the footnote reference is moved to the next page, or an overset icon appears. In such a case, you should
considering changing the text formatting.
When the insertion point is in a footnote, you can choose Type > Go To Footnote Reference to return to where you were
typing. If you use this option frequently, consider creating a keyboard shortcut.
Change footnote numbering and layout
Changes you make to footnote numbering and layout affect existing footnotes and all new ones.
Note: In InCopy, change footnote numbering and layout options only for standalone documents. The InDesign document’s
footnote settings will override any changes you make to a linked (managed) file in InCopy.
1 Choose Type > Document Footnote Options.
2 In the Numbering And Formatting tab, select options that determine the numbering scheme and formatting
appearance of the reference number and footnote text.
3 Click the Layout tab, and select options that control the look of the footnote section on the page.
4 Click OK.
Footnote numbering and formatting options
The following options appear in the Numbering And Formatting section of the Footnote Options dialog box:
Numbering Style Choose the numbering style for footnote reference numbers.
Start At Specify the number used for the first footnote in the story. Each story in a document begins with the same Start
At number. If you have multiple documents in a book with continued page numbering, you may want to start the
footnote numbering in each chapter to continue where the last chapter left off.
The Start At option is especially useful for documents in a book. Footnote numbering is not continued across
documents in a book.
Restart Numbering Every If you want numbering to restart within the document, select this option and choose Page,
Spread, or Section to determine when footnote numbering is restarted. Some numbering styles, such as asterisks (*),
work best when reset every page.
Show Prefix/Suffix In Select this option to show prefixes or suffixes in the footnote reference, the footnote text, or both.
Prefixes appear before the number (such as [1) and suffixes appear after the number (such as 1]). This option is
especially useful for placing footnotes within characters, such as [1]. Type a character or characters or select an option
