"apart from" (separately) the text it is to be applied, the way it can be done in MS Word. "First set up a paragraph style": do I do this by creating a style for footnotes? What I understand by "creating a style" is setting up font, leading, justified, etc. I am a beginner at Publisher (and overall all-thumbs when it comes to computer-related skills), and I would like to know about how I can do what you did to solve this problem. 7pt footnote texts are not changing no matter what I do. Hello, I am having exactly the same problem and trying hard to solve it. It took me a couple of days to work this out. It has finally worked so well that I can style the footnote text any way I like and it looks fantastic. The solution is that I first set up a paragraph style for the footnotes below the text and then I went into the Notes tab and applied that to the footnote text below. My problem persisted even after trying to edit the imported text styles from MS Word, that they continued to stay the same size, about 7pts instead of 10 as it was in the text style applied to footnotes. Thanks to everyone who has replied to my original question.įor some reason after importing the MS Word document across, the footnote text is very small at the bottom of the page.
For some reason after importing the MS Word document across, the footnote text is very small at the bottom of the page. Word sets up 2 text styles to do with footnotes, a character style and a paragraph style. Firstly, the problem was with the MS Word file that was imported. Since I last posted here I have found the solution. I have definitely been into the Notes Panel and have tried all sorts of different settings. Is this something you all could confirm for me? I think I'm picking up problems trying to modify the MS Word imported text styles for footnotes. I think what I am getting from your comments is that I need to set up a footnote text style within Affinity Publisher and apply that to the footnote text. I then have to delete the next character style again and then the footnote text changes and then is resized up but the text is a different font. No sooner do I delete the character style, then it finds another one to link to. I've had to delete the character style from the paragraph style attached to the footnote text and even then it still remains the same size. Even if I assign "no style" to the character style in Affinity Publisher, it still displays the footnote text as very small. The problem I've found is that footnote text has a paragraph style attached to it as well as a character style. When I select the footnote text it shows the formatted sizes and spacing etc to be as it was in MS Word before import. After import, all the footnote body text is tiny, the size of the superscript number in the main text above. MS Word has text styles for the footnote reference and the footnote body text at the bottom of the text frame underneath the ruled line.
#Affinity publisher footnotes manual#
The problem that I am having is the manual clean up after the import of the MS Word document containing footnotes. Thanks very much for your comments on my post. In my opinion, Adobe InDesign was much better at importing MS Word documents with minimal footnote adjustment after import. Upon import, the footnotes below are the size of the superscript numbers in the main body text and I'm having a really frustrating time finding which setting is causing this upon import. I see also that character styles seem to mess with the footnotes formatting. Not only do I need to go into the Notes panel and set up the "document wide" options, I still have to go into the text styles panel and do more modifications and adjustments to try and get the footnotes right. This adjustment is quite a long and involved process. This means that the footnotes even though they are pre-formatted in MS Word, don't actually keep the integrity of that formatting, but need to be adjusted in Affinity Publisher, not so with InDesign. But now, most probably because of the import process (the place command) the MS Word document with the footnotes doesn't give me a good result upon import. I did a lot of this kind of work for clients. Up until recently, I was using Adobe InDesign for this purpose, and the importing of a Microsoft Word document containing hundreds of footnotes was almost seamless.
