Hi Lief -
That's something I hadn't thought of trying. I'll have to see how
insistent the client is on having a color on the footnote numbers.
Thanks.

Hmmm. Yeah, I don’t know how you’d color just the number in the
footnote itself, unless you want a hack way to do it.
I could imagine that you could make the default Footnote paragraph
tag the color that you want, then use a Character tag (called Black
that is set to As-Is except for the color) to change the paragraph
color back to black. Be sure there is a space at the end of your
footnote that you do not select and include when applying your
Character tag though.
Like I said, it’s a bit of a hack, but does get you a colored
number and black text in your footnotes.

Hello Lief
The issue is, though, that you can't access the footnote number
alone, since it's not defined in the footnote paragraph format. Any
changes to the paragraph format are applied to the whole footnote,
not just the number. As far as I can see, there is no way to format
the number differently from the text. This appears to be so whether
you are using structured or unstructured documents. I'd be happy to
be proved wrong...
Regards,
Roger

Do you want the color applied universally to all footnotes through
a template or do you want each footnote to have its own color?
To apply color to all footnotes, simply change the color of your
Footnote tag in your template. You could also apply color on a one-
off basis, but that creates paragraph overrides -- something most
FrameMaker users usually want to avoid.
To apply color to the Footnote number, I think you'll need to
create a Character tag that is the color that you want and apply
that Character tag to the number.

Hi -
Is there a way to automatically apply a color to a footnote number,
both in text and in the footnote?
Thanks.
Pat
