Created attachment 124087 [details] The attachment with footnotes/endnotes I can't select a few endnotes at a time. An user may be confused if he can't select and copy a few endnotes at a time. The ability to select multiple endnotes improves performance of the Writer. Requirements: - Add an ability to select multiple footnotes/endnotes - Ability to copy the index of an note - Not necessary to select from normal text to footnotes/endnotes - Not necessary to select from endnotes/footnotes to footnotes/endnotes There is an attachment with footnotes/endnotes. Cheers!
Microsoft Word allows the user to select multiple *notes at once. Setting to NEW.
Adding a feature that permits multiple footnotes to be edited/selected at the same time will save me time in my work-life.

I note that line-numbering within documents already treats footnotes as a whole (distinct from the line-numbering for the "other" text in the same document file). Given the existence of that functionality already (and the fact that others have commented on this kind of enhancement request) I'd like to suggest that (A) being able to search all footnotes as a whole as well as (B) being able to select-all footnotes within a document, would significantly simplify the user's experience of managing heavily footnoted material across book-length publications.
