--- Comment #14 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- I agree with Telesto's description of the problem, but not with all of his concrete suggestion. About Telesto's three points: * I don't see how you can integrate an insertion dialog with a settings dialog. * Agreed, that's my point (3.) below, but see also my point (4.) about the same for endnotes. * I suggest the opposite direction. You see, the whole-document settings should not direct you to single-page-style-specific settings, but the other direction does make sense. Here's what I think I would do: 1. Make Footnote numbering page-style-specific: Bug 155712. That would naturally move the numbering setting from the document-level Tools-menu dialog to the Page Style dialog's Footnotes tab. 2. (Maybe) Rename the "Insert | Footnote and Endnote | Footnote or Endnote" dialog an "Out-of-order Note" or a "Special Note", and only allow choosing the single character (or string) to use as the reference, without allowing autonumbering. 3. (Maybe) have an entry for "Insert | Footnote and Endnote" to open up the current Page Style's dialog at the Footnotes tab. 4. (Maybe) have a fourth menu entry open up the Endnote Page Style's dialog at the Footnotes tab. (Of course, that brings up the fact that it's not clear to the user that Endnotes = Footnotes in special EndNote pages.) 5. Add a button to the Page Style dialog's Footnotes tab which takes you to the document-level Footnote Settings dialog. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
