Five and a half years ago, I had a question, two actually, about side
notes and footnotes.
The question on footnotes was this: can footnotes be placed in two
columns when the text is in a single column?
Then side notes: Is there a workable option to have side notes rather
than (or in addition
Hi :)
If it's not been done already then it might be worth posting a fresh
new bug-report about this but using the LibreOffice bug-tracker rather
than the AOO one.
LO develops far faster and code clean-up has fixed things or smoothed
things out without anyone directly focussing on some of the
I think Frames would be the best answer to both problems. A Frame can
be set up to have two columns, for instance, and there is one that
would work well for side notes too I believe.

The solution I got earlier was to insert Fields into the frames, but it
was a convoluted process that would not appear to be workable for a
large file of, say, hundreds of pages. Or would it?

Have you looked at creating a Page Template that contains the fields
and frames you need?

No, but would that solve the many steps required to insert data through
the Fields option? From what I gathered, each time the user would have
to go through multiple steps to insert a note. Or am I missing
something?

Well, what I am talking about is the page layout part of this, not the
adding a footnote part. For instance, a frame that is set for two
columns would address your desire to have two columns of footnotes on
a page that otherwise was only one column. And the Marginalia frame
might address your
Correct, I think I follow. Question is if frames would be same size on
each page.
But the process to insert the notes still would be something of a
hassle, no?
Thanks!

I have been doing a little Google searching, and I may have led you
down the wrong path. It may not be possible tot place footnotes within
frames in LibreOffice.
