Description larrybradley 2022-01-02 22:07:59 UTC
Description:
When I reset the Footnote Area to "Not Larger Than Page Area" the footnote continues to break across pages and the footnote is only about an inch in height on the page where the footnote starts. In the Help section, not sure what the phrase "depending on the number of footnotes" means, but the phrase seems to contradict "Not Larger Than Page Area." Not sure if this is a bug or simply a very obscure way of describing the function.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Format, Page Style, Footnote, Footnote Area, select "Not Larger than Page Area"
2.Click Okay.

Actual Results:
Footnote splits across pages.

Expected Results:
Expect footnote to be entirely on one page, not break across pages.


Reproducible: Always

LO about setting "Not larger than page area: Automatically adjusts the height of the footnote area depending on the number of footnotes." Description is not very clear, but since it is about footnote area and not footnote itself, i don't think it's a bug, but i'm not sure. Could you provide a sample document? And please describe waht should happen, if there is not enought space for the footnote on one page.
