For my dissertation I have to merge several documents into one document. When doing this normally the footnotes for the second, third etc. files are added to those of the first document. So I get footnumbers like 799 and 1015.
My question is the following: is there any method to restart footnote numbering for each chapter of the document? I want to give every first footnote of a chapter number 1.
I hope my question is sufficiently clear and apologize if that is not the case.
Many thanks for any advice in advance!
Footnote numbering when merging documents
Re: Footnote numbering when merging documents
You could insert a Section Break after each chapter, and then do this:Axonus wrote:is there any method to restart footnote numbering for each chapter of the document? I want to give every first footnote of a chapter number 1.
1. Go to Style Sheet
2. Select Note Style "Footnote" in the left column
3. Then choose an option from the "Number Restart" pop-up menu.
You can choose between [1] Continuous, [2] Per Page and [3] Per Section

Re: Footnote numbering when merging documents
I am facing a similar problem.
I want to restart the footnote # for each chapter. Problem: I have sections within each chapter. Bc I use landscape settings etc for some pages within the chapter. So if I choose "restart footnote numbering for each section," I end up having multiple footnotes no. 1 WITHIN the same chapter.
Any way around this?

Re: Footnote numbering when merging documents
You can manually manage your footnote numbering, e.g. use the menu Set Custom Note Reference for each footnote, but this is tedious and error-prone to do one at a time. You might consider creating a macro that renumbers all your footnotes automatically. You can run it once after you're done writing. Such a macro might use a particular heading style to decide where to restart note numbering.madpoli wrote: ↑2022-03-12 09:04:44I want to restart the footnote # for each chapter.
