USING INCOPY CS4 139 Text Footnotes Create footnotes A footnote consists of two linked parts: the footnote reference number that appears in text, and the footnote text that appears at the bottom of the column. You can create footnotes or import them from Word or RTF documents. Footnotes are automatically numbered as they are added to a document. Numbering restarts in each story. You can control the numbering style, appearance, and layout of footnotes. You cannot add footnotes to tables or to footnote text. The width of the footnote text is based on the width of the column containing the footnote reference marker. Footnotes cannot space columns in a text frame. You cannot create endnotes in InDesign. Endnotes in converted Microsoft Word documents are formatted as text, not footnoes. For a video tutorial on creating footnotes, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0218. 1 Place the insertion point where you want the footnote reference number to appear. 2 Choose Type > Insert Footnote. 3 Type the footnote text.

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.
