I started this new experiment from scratch by recombining the original two files to make sure I was starting with fresh game.Each chapter is a separate odt document with footnotes staring at 1.The footnotes should start at 1 for each new chapter appended, but of course attaching a second document like this made the footnotes for the second chapter begin where the first chapter left off.I found a thread from 2010 on this forum about this issue, and apparently at that time there was no way to do it, although the originator said Microsoft Word had a simple way to do this very thing.
How can I reset a footnote number to start a new sequence Thanks. Bill. I also read the Help page, Inserting a Chapter Name and Number in a Header or a Footer. The result was that Chapter 1 appeared in the headers of every page on both chapters, so there was no way of telling whether the footnote setting would have worked or not. And of ocurse, the chapter number and title must not appear on EVERY page. How Do I Keep Footnotes On The Same Page In Word Plus Its TitlePlus, who wants Chapter 1 plus its title in a HEADER Most published books have it even lower than the point where the first line appears on normal pages. Did you use the Heading 1 paragraph style for your chapter titles If you are using a master document then did you do Tools FootnoteEndnote Footnote tab. Writer defines a Chapter as something started by a first outline level heading: if you use a second outline level for your chapters this (and other thing, like TOCs for chapters) will not work. Then I repeated the process for the line Chapter 2 in the first page of chapter 2. But it didnt work. The footnotes still run in a single sequence from 1 to 56, where chapter 2 still starts with footnote 11 instead of 1 for a new sequence. But if you use a paragraph style that have an outline level associated (for example, under Tools Outline numbering you have Heading 1 as level one and then use that paragraph style for your heading) it works without problems. In general it is a bad idea to use direct formatting for such matters (IMO, it is always bad idea to use direct formatting. This tells a reader where a new chapter starts, but Writer uses a particular paragraph style to determine where a new chapter starts. Directly setting the Outline level should never be necessary. The paragraph style applied to chapter titles should automatically set the level to Level 1. What am I doing wrong The paragraph style associated with Outline level 1 in Tools Outline numbering must be applied to the first line (the chapter title) of a new chapter. By default, the Heading 1 paragraph style is associated with Outline level 1. If a different paragraph style is associated with Outline level 1, then you must apply that style to the chapter titles. What I described in my steps above actually does work, but not until you close and then reload the file. However, if you reverse my steps (5) and (6) above, then the footnotes in chapter 2 renumber immediately without closing and reopening the file.
