Description: Can't change the indent on the footnotes in this example document. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the example file 2.Try to change the indent for the footnote 3.You can't Actual Results: Play with the example file and tell me how to change the indent in the footnote! Expected Results: Modifying the footnote style's paragraph indentation should make changes to the footnote's indent. It does not. Caveat: the file was orginally created in OmniPage Pro 18. The output of OmniPro is a 2007 .docx file. I import styles from a .odt file that has what I need for my doctoral work and everything formats / changes as I expect EXCEPT for the footnote indentation. I think I have exhausted every option to know what is going on and I am asking for someone else to look and see if they can see what is wrong. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 193774 [details] Example file that has the problem This file resists changing the footnote indentation and I don't know why. Again, for reference, the file was originally created in OmniPage Pro 18 and then I imported styles from a sample document built from a new .odt document. All attempts to adjust the indentation in the footnote fails. My testing says that it is something that OmniPage did, but I can't find what needs to change to make footnote indentation work again...

Could you please attach .docx-file? => NEEDINFO Additional information I don't know why this happens, but if you place curser behind footnote number and press backspace you get the correct indent
Created attachment 193976 [details] A 2007 version of a .docx created by OmniPage Pro version 18 This is a freshly made file output from OmniPage 18 Pro without any changes. Try adding a footnote -- the indenting is wrong and I haven't been able to fix it. Someone asked for a raw sample file -- here it is.

Maybe also attaching the "source" ODT (from which your styles are supposed to come from) would help to understand what you are hoping to achieve. Currently, I see in you example DOCX that: - the number is left-aligned with the page body and horizontal line separator - There is no space between the number and the first line of footnote text - The following lines of the paragraph use a 0.6 cm indentation Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7a895ec4205659038aa95941b65715fed1a3e7be CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded There is indeed a change between 7.6 and 24.2: in 7.6, there is space between the numbering and the text. I bibisected the change with the linux-64-24.2 repo to build [75beb49a132788db35592b449cc8a3506f50a6fd] which is: commit 87f11c2961cd4bb8be6bc8f62442a706da0420b7 author Mike Kaganski Fri Jan 26 19:03:05 2024 +0600 committer Michael Stahl Tue Jan 30 10:57:39 2024 +0100 tdf#159382: introduce a Word compat flag for hanging footnote number spacing Mike, can you please clarify if this is expected?
Indeed, it is expected and normal; the file has the compatibility flag that tells it to behave as DOCX works: NoGapAfterNoteNumber. Since the file was created by re-saving a DOCX, this is normal. The problem is that I didn't make the flag shown in Options->Writer->Compatibility (like bug 153138).
So, how can you change the indenting in the footnotes. The system seems to want to let you set indents -- and ignores your efforts...
