Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21130
Automatic non-numbered footnotes
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:21 UTC
The late, beloved wordprocessor "Describe" allows the user to define a set of nonnumeric footnote references (such as asterisk, dagger, double dagger, pilcrow, article) to be used and restarted per page. At present, OOo allows nonnumeric footnote references, but they may only be selected by hand. This can be used on stable documents by inserting them after pagination is frozen, but that is not the kind of automation that computers are supposed to be good for. This is not a duplicate of 15518, but both 15518 and this should probably be handled in a single redesign.
