Footnotes

EasiWriter supports footnotes and endnotes. References are generated automatically and you can choose between Numbers, Symbols or No reference as the note reference.

Adding notes to a document

  1. Position the caret where you want the footnote reference.
  2. Click on the Footnote button or press Ctrl-Shift-F10.
    The caret will move to the bottom of the page (or end of chapter or document depending on the setting).
  3. Type the footnote.
  4. Press Ctrl-] to finish the footnote and return to the document.

Find footnote

Alt-click on footnote reference moves the caret to the footnote. Ctrl-] (End structure) moves the caret back to the reference.

Deleting notes

To remove a note:

The note is removed from the document and all other references automatically updated. If you edit text containing note references (using Cut, Copy or Drag and Drop) then the notes themselves will be moved as part of the operation.

Endnotes

You can choose to have all notes positioned either at the end of a chapter or end of a document.

All notes will be moved to their new position.

Changing the numbering style

By default, references are displayed as numbers. You can choose to use Symbols.

All references are converted to symbols, with the first note on each page being allocated * then œ, , §, ¶, **, œœ, , §§, ¶¶. If there are more than ten notes, the eleventh will be allocated 1, the twelfth 2, and so on.

Separation rules

Footnotes and endnotes can be separated from the body text by inserting a rule that can be drawn either the full width of the note area or one-sixth of the width. To add a rule:

  1. Click inside a note and select the Note area.
  2. Click on the Borders button in the tool bar.
  3. Choose the line thickness and Top border.
  4. Click Note area divider to reduce the line width to one-sixth or click Full width divider.

Footnote start number

The starting number of footnotes (normally 1 but can be zero or any other number) can be changed by choosing Start number from Footnotes in the Misc menu.
