This seems to me to be a use of ibid.

HiI have a document in writer in whicj itvwould be helpful to refer to the same footnote from different parts of the text (to avoid multiple copies of the footnote) but i cant seem to find how to do it. Is it even possible?Lo 6.0.7.3Ubuntu 0.18.04.8ThanksGary


a link from document to footnote is no problem. Set cursor where the number of the footnote should appear. Go to menu Insert > Cross-Reference. In section 'Type' choose 'Footnotes'. Then select the footnote in section 'Selection'. Then choose 'Reference' in section 'Insert reference to'. Click 'Insert' and 'Close'.

The reference is inserted as normal text. To give it the same appearance than the others, mark it, then open the character styles in the side bar and double-click the style 'Footnote Anchor' to assign it.

The link from footnote to text can of cause only go that place, where the footnote was originally inserted.

Kind regards
Regina
