Description Winfried Donkers 2013-04-12 10:37:58 UTC
Created attachment 77862 [details]
writer document with footnote and cross-reference to footnote

When inserting a footnote or endnote, the reference is formatted as in the footnote style (i.e. smaller font and superscript).

When however a cross-reference to an existing footnote or endnote is inserted, the refecence is not formatted at all. There is no way to do this whilst inserting, you must select the reference after inserting and set the character style or properties.

The attachment shows what happens.

It should be possible - and straightforward for users - to give the cross-reference to footnote and endnotes the same style as is used for references to footnotes and endnotes, either by default (which would have my preference) or selectable at the time of inserting the cross-reference.

This is an annoying thing indeed, that we have to manually apply a reference formatting (superscript). It should be an option in the cross-reference dialog window: adding "Reference(formatted)" in the "Insert reference to" box

I should add this is not a bug (one can WANT to add a number unformatted), but an enhancement (see attached file)
