To the top
This option determines the minimum amount of space between the bottom of the column and the first
footnote line. You cannot use a negative value. Any Space Before setting in the footnote paragraph is ignored.
This option determines the distance between the last paragraph of one footnote and the first paragraph of the next
footnote in a column. You cannot use a negative value. The Space Before/Space After values in a footnote’s paragraph apply only if the footnote
includes multiple paragraphs.
This option determines the distance between the start of the footnote area (where the footnote divider appears by default)
and the first line of footnote text.
For information on the First Baseline options, see Change text frame properties.
Select this option if you want the last column’s footnotes to appear just below the text in the
last frame of the story. If this option is not selected, any footnote in the last frame of the story appears at the bottom of the column.
Select this option if you want footnotes to break across a column when the footnote exceeds the amount of space
available for it in that column. If splitting is not allowed, the line containing the footnote reference number moves to the next column, or the text
becomes overset.
If Allow Split Footnotes is turned on, you can still prevent an individual footnote from splitting by placing the insertion point in the footnote text,
choosing Keep Options from the Paragraph panel menu, and selecting the Keep Lines Together and All Lines In Paragraph options. If the
footnote contains multiple paragraphs, use the Keep With Next X Lines option in the first paragraph of the footnote text. You can choose Type
> Insert Break Character> Column Break to control where the footnote is split.
Footnote split across column.
Specify the location and appearance of the footnote divider line that appears above the footnote text. A divider line (also called a
“separator line”) also appears above any footnote text continued in a separate frame. The options you select apply to either the First Footnote In
Column or Continued Footnotes, whichever is selected in the menu. These options are similar to those that appear when you specify a paragraph
rule. If you want to remove the footnote divider line, deselect Rule On.
Delete footnotes
To delete a footnote, select the footnote reference number that appears in text, and then press Backspace or Delete. If you delete only the
footnote text, the footnote reference number and footnote structure remain.
Work with footnote text
As you edit footnote text, note the following:
When the insertion point is in footnote text, choosing Edit > Select All selects all the footnote text for that footnote, but no other footnote or
text.
