Description: Open tools => footnotes and endnotes If you want to select a Paragraph-Style you can only choose styles from the category "special styles". I think this is an important information but I miss it within the help. So please add it. Steps to Reproduce: see above.

I think the current relevant help pages are: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/01/06080000.html and maybe https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/guide/footnote_usage.html @Dieter, can you say more precisely what you think should be added? Or is this not an issue anymore?
See https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/01/06080100.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN Paragraph Select the paragraph style for the footnote text. I miss the additionale information, that you can only choose styles from the category "special styles".
(In reply to Dieter Praas from comment #2) > See > https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/01/06080100. > html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN We agree on the relevant page. > > Paragraph > Select the paragraph style for the footnote text. And the current text, where you are proposing a change. > I miss the additionale information, that you can only choose styles from the > category "special styles". But then the question becomes whether the existing text is wrong. I do not have an opinion (but suspect that the text will not be seen as wrong.) I will add CC to Olivier Hallot for an opinion. I am willing to make the change, if it is considered necessary to correct the help page.

Dieter, I could not find any help pages on Special Styles, or I would have added a link to them. Otherwise, if everything looks all right then maybe we can close this bug.
