 Hi,

 Is there a way to enter footnote without the automatic numbering?  I think I 
 saw something in the archives but it was for Lyx version 1.1.6 and the

Just wanted to add that I found another way to eliminate the footnote
numbering. Taken from:

ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/latex4wp/latex4wp.pdf

It does eliminate all footnote numbering so if you need some footnotes
numbered and some not it may take a fair amount of tweaking.

Just put (in the Preamble):

Quick dirty trick:

After the last complete paragraph on that page, insert a vfill
and then your footnote text using the font size smaller (same size 
as actual footnotes). The vertical fill (vertical spacing of the

fill variety) will eat up any white space making sure the
text gets to the bottom of the page.

It is a quick trick only, as it won't work well if you ever
add stuff in front of it. But I guess you won't do that, if the
chapter in question is a copy of something already published?

Re: Footnote without numbering (new)

It works for me when using the article textclass. This is, I guess, because the style of the title page is set to plain, and not the 
rest of the document. But it is true that the behavior may change with other classes. I have seen now that the major sectioning 
commands (\part, \chapter or \maketitle) specify a \thispagestyle{plain}. So the footer would be repeated at the beginning of every 
part or chapter. To avoid that the plain style should be redefined after a new \chapter or \part, if I am not wrong. Take a look here 
for related info:

I thought that in such cases a numbered footnote was appended to the
title of the chapter.


The style Adrian describes seems to be relatively common in the US, for
various purposes. For example, many journals set text formatted as a
footnote with no number (often on the first or last page of an article),
with material such as previous publication, requirements for reproduction,
acknowledgments, and so on.

A couple of examples I have to hand are _Critical Inquiry_ and

So I'm not surprised that Adrian's college uses the same convention when

Footnote without numbering (new)

2008-05-28 Thread Adrian Peter




Hi,

Is there a way to enter footnote without the automatic numbering?  I think I 
saw something in the archives but it was for Lyx version 1.1.6 and the 
explanation was a little confusing.  Thank you.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You don't want automatic
numbering, but what do you want? There is an option for the footmisc
package that allows symbols rather than numbers. Is that sufficient?
See the attached .pdf.

Thank you for the suggestion but  unfortunately I really need to put a footnote 
without a symbol or anything.  I am trying to use Lyx for my thesis.  Our 
college requires that if any of the chapters has already appeared as a 
publication that we need to list it on the first page of the chapter as a 
footnote.  This is why I just want put a footnote at the bottom without having 
it attached to a symbol in the main body.
