Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15518
footnotes, where numbering can restart at 1 after the first one or two footnotes
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:34:01 UTC
Many scholarly works include a bio of the author and a footnote thanking contributors, on the first page, using asterisks or daggers, or such like. Thereafter, footnotes begin over again at 1. This is the format used in law reviews, for example. It would be great if OO had such a feature, whereby the first one or two footnotes can be indicated by a character (*, ** for example) and then, on the same page, footnotes begin numbering over again with the first amount of text.
