Hi. Currently there is a feature available in Microsoft Office still not available in LibreOffice. In M.O if I add a footnote, & write it. But I dislike size & type & alignment of text in this footnote. And I like the following format for example: - Time new Romman type of font (not that appear by default) - size 12 (not that appear by default) - "justified" alignment (not to left as appear by default) I - more importantly - I like to make the above favourite parameters to be the default: that is to say, every footnote I will add in future in this document will be (Time new Romman + 12 size _ justified). In M.O all what I have to do are: - put mouse pointer over footnote (any footnote within target document), - Ctrl+A (select all), - then change parameter from L.O tool bar, - then "Save", & that is all ! While in L.O if I use Ctrl+A for footnote, then change parameters & save, it will effect only the selected footnote (it work only on single footnote per time) & never effect document's footnotes globally & never be the default values for footnotes in that document (I have to repeat process every time I add new footnote)! I searched to use tepmlate for that by edit template but these is currently no format options specifically operate on footnotes ......
I confirm it. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a document with more than one footnote. 2. Put cursor in one footnote 3. Ctrl+A Actual result: Only the current footnote is selected Expected result: All footnotes are selected Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: b0e291a7efcd3af2a72d0b622b1f1b84723f011f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-06-30_23:43:40 Locale: en-US (de_DE); Calc: CL
Footnote is an established Style that is applied from template defaults onto new documents, or as "modified" (-> F11 Sidebar Deck) in the current document. It requires management of the Style, not the direct formatting applied to a single footnote for inheritance to other footnotes. => NAB, and a =>WF should someone suggest this direct formatting be global.
@ V Stuart Foote Thank you very much ! You are very correct ! I was not know this at all ! Now, I get relief by modify the footnote in my chief master as following: Open L.O writer | File | Template | Manage template| then I selected my chief template & right click of it then from right click list I selected "change" | Click F11 | from emerging side bar | select "footnote" style | right click "footnote" style that selected from sidebar | then click "change" from right click list | do what you like to do (size of font, type of font, ......) | click O.K | finally click on save & that is all ! In fact this much better from Ctrl+A of Microsoft Office ! It is more elegant !
