--- Comment #9 from Attila Szűcs <[email protected]> --- At MS Word the column numbers of footnotes are independent from the page content. Footnotes have a setting about column number, that can be set to auto,1,2,3,4 Auto will use the column number of the first section on the page. There can be many section on the page with different column numbers, but there can be only 1 place for footnotes. (that is at the page bottom.. or under the last text on the page) At Writer footnotes can be only 1 column, but they can be placed not only at the end of the page, but even to the end of a column. So footnotes can be at many places in a page, that is a nice improvement compared to word. This is used to simulate a few cases of Word footnotes.. but it generate other issues.. Writer can display multy-column-like footnotes as word, only if the column_end==page_end, and the footnotes have the same column number as the section... Tu support footnoes from MS word, I think, multy-column footnotes should be implemented, where the column number can be set independently from section/page style column numbers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
