Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 41947
Modifications to 'Insert Footnote' dialog - Add a [Settings...] option
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:38 UTC
Open a document in OO.o writer, Go to Insert Footnotes. The dialog has options to specify the type of foot note [footnote/endnote] the numbering [character, number etc.], etc. Now if the user want to format the footnote/endnote he will have to go to Tools > Footnote... Why can't we provide an 'Settings' button to this dialog from where the additional formatting of footnotes/endnotes could be done at the same time. Also I believe that the Tools > Footnotes... is wrongly placed. It is about formatting / setting up the style and other related features of 'Footnote', I feel this could be placed under the Format menu, If I am not wrong. Further, the 'Footnote' option of Format > Page dialog could also be moved to this 'Footnote Settings' dialog with some adjustments/realigning.
A reasonable extension to the Insert.Footnote dialog. Easier way to find configuration of footnotes.
