I recommend that you discard Foxfire and install the more popular
Firefox. Oh, and I have OpenOffice 3.1; I trust what I am about to
suggest will be relevant. If not, you might want to update your installation.
I'm doing a journal which is a large file consisting of articles
within it. Two of the articles have footnotes. The first article
had four footnotes and each one was numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. Now to the
second article. It had seven footnotes. I wanted the footnotes to
start as 1 thru 7 but it started as footnote 5 thru 12. How do you
change the numbering so that the footnotes start with #1 on each
article? Please let me know in layman's English.
This is fairly easy if you make each of your articles separate sections.
o Select each of your second and subsequent articles separately in
turn. (It doesn't matter whether you do this for your first article.)
o Go to Insert | Section... | Footnotes/Endnotes | Footnotes.
o Tick "Collect at end of text".
o Tick "Restart numbering".
o Leave "Start at" set to 1.
o Click Insert.
You may think that "Collect at end of text" will move all the
footnotes to the end of the section - in your case, of the
article. But this is not so: instead, this setting merely allows you
to have any remaining footnotes immediately after a section if it
ends in the middle of a page.
I trust this helps.
