Thank you for the suggestion but unfortunately I really need to put
a footnote without a symbol or anything. I am trying to use Lyx for
my thesis. Our college requires that if any of the chapters has
already appeared as a publication that we need to list it on the
first page of the chapter as a footnote.
I thought that in such cases a numbered footnote was appended to the
title of the chapter.
The style Adrian describes seems to be relatively common in the US,
for various purposes. For example, many journals set text formatted as
a footnote with no number (often on the first or last page of an
article), with material such as previous publication, requirements for
reproduction, acknowledgments, and so on.
A couple of examples I have to hand are _Critical Inquiry_ and
_Communications of the ACM_.
So I'm not surprised that Adrian's college uses the same convention
when documenting prior publication.
