I'm using windows xp, openoffice 2.0.4, writer.
Had problems with retroactively formatting footnotes.
This document has been in and out of Word, saved as a rich text formatted doc. Probably a bad idea .... Repeated transfers into and out of openoffice apparently removed the 'small' attribute (is that the right term?) from the footnotes. Anyway, the footnotes are not superscript, neither is the apparent font size smaller. They used to be OK
I added some footnotes today before I tried to fix the footnote formatting.
The footnotes that were already in the document (not added today) gracefully switched to the correct formatting when I went to Tools/Format and changed Text area to small under Character formatting.
The footnotes added today did not switch.
Footnotes added after I tried to change the formatting were also not superscript etc. So, I tried saving the document in OpenOffice as a .doc, opened it in Word, saved it, closed it, opened it in OpenOffice, saved as .odt.
Now the footnotes are behaving just fine.
there has got to be an easier way...
Any suggestions?
