Tagged: footnotes options word left hand
Hi there
I have imported a document from MS Word into ID, but for some reason the line above the footnotes is on the right hand side instead of the left hand side. I have looked at the options but i can’t seem to find anything that allows me to change the positioning.
I do use world-ready paragraph composing a bit, but i have looked at all the options there are they all seem to fine, text running left to right, world-ready paragraph composing off etc. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this might be?
Thank you so much
That is weird. Is it possible there is a very large left indent on the footnote rule in the document footnote options?
Perhaps, i’ll check that out and let you know. Thank you for your help Dwayne.
So i checked the left indent and it seems fine. I then tried deleting all the footnotes and then inserting a new one and it put the separator line on the right hand side.
I’m sure it must be something to do with the world-ready paragraph composing, but i can’t figure out where?
So i posted my question up in the Adobe Indesign forum and i received the following answer that fixed the problem: “The location of the footnotes divider depends on the story direction. (Type>Story and set the story direction).”
Problem solved!
Thanks again for your help!
Glad you got it figured it out. My next suggestion was about asking about the story direction thing, but you already found that out.
