Manuscript Files: Note Numbering

 

Formatting of footnotes and endnotes should be consistent for each component file of a manuscript. You can choose to number notes sequentially through the full manuscript, or restart note numbering with each chapter.

 

To set the note numbering in each component file:

 

1 Open the component file.
2Click Format, Notes, Series 1:Footnotes/Endnotes. The Note Format dialog will open.
3At the bottom of the dialog, select an option from the Numbering Sequence dropdown.
Begin Sequential will start numbering the notes in the chapter from 1 (or the Start At number you specify in the same dialog).
Continue Sequential will number the notes in the chapter starting with the number after the last number in the preceding chapter. (e.g., if the last note in Chapter 2 is note 40, the first note in Chapter 3 will be 41.)
Restart On Each Page will reset the note number to 1 on every page of the file.

 

Note numbering can also be set within the MST file.

 

1Click Format, Document Overview. The Document Structure dialog will open.
2Click the Notes tab.
3Click to highlight the chapter number and make sure that the Format and Number radio button is selected.
4Click Edit. The Note Format dialog will open. You can change the Numbering Sequence option as above.
