Plus, 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. And of ocurse, the chapter number and title must not appear on EVERY page. 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. Then I read the Help page, “Inserting a Chapter Name and Number in a Header or a Footer.” I followed every step. How can I reset a footnote number to start a new sequence for each chapter?Īlso: I tried Format -> Footnote/Endnote and then selected “Chapter.” That doesn’t work because it doesn’t recognize the beginning of a new chapter.
I am hoping that LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) now can do it too. I found a thread from 2010 on another 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. I need to reset each first footnote for each chapter to 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 used Insert -> File for a test run on combining two chapters. Each chapter is a separate odt document with footnotes staring at 1. When many people edit documents, they do so with Track Changes turned on. The answer could be quite simple, and related to using the Track Changes feature of Word. Roger wonders what could be causing this problem with the footnotes. I’m combining chapters to make a single manuscript. The footnote was actually deleted, but the remaining footnotes did not renumber.
