Footnotes / Endnotes

I can't find any mention so far of endnotes (as against footnotes): are they not an option as yet?
Pages is glorious to use as compared to Word, but if it wants to compete in the academic market it is going to have to have the possibility of endnotes.

To each his/her own.
Don't get me wrong, I love this app. In fact, I have done a couple of my normal word processing duties using it just for fun. I developed a beautiful template for taking minutes at meetings. The outline feature is decent enough to allow me to take minutes and print almost immediately afterwards. A quick trip to the Inspector allowed me to decrease the lines enough so it all fits on one page. Very slick.
The addiction with the program comes with time and I have not used it very long.
From my first impressions these are the short comings of the app as a word processor:
*Compared to the other word processors this app seems sluggish, painfully so when you zoom in to 200% or more.
*The mail merge is limited to Address book, effectively negating all the work I have done with Appleworks databases. The simplicity and power of the Appleworks database and easy mail merge with any field in any database still makes it my app of choice.
* There are a decent amount of shortcuts but the interface of the app seems to be too mouse oriented. I find myself taking my hands off the keyboard all the time, mostly to use some feature in the Inspector. I am able to finish long docs in Appleworks much quicker. This may change I use the program more.
* File size is too large, text files with a few graphics eating up the space of a Pagemaker layout doc. When you create a zillion word processing docs like I do this space is going to add up.
* html export is lousy, but heck, it is in any word processing app I have ever used.
Great word features:
* Access to all OSX font effects. like shadows.
* Excellent line and character adjustment-my favorite word feature.
* Beautiful rendering of fonts. Kerning looks more professional than Appleworks.
* Sections and column creation mid page looks easier, although i haven't played with this much.
*Outlines work well although the selection seems limited compared to other apps.

  • How do I add footnotes/endnotes in Pages for iPad 2?

    Hi everyone. Like many people I was super excited to be able to use my iPad 2 as a word processor with the Pages app. I have a macbook black from 2007 and it is extremely heavy to carry around everyone. I'm a graduate student so mobility for me is key.  Anyway, so I am writing an academic paper write now in Pages for iOS but I can't figure out how to add footnotes/endnotes to cite my sources. I can't find anything online relating to this topic. Can you tell me how to do this? I certainly hope Pages has this capability because without something so fundamental, how can it be the least bit useful? Thanks so much!

    It is not built in, but you can at least create and edit footnotes (I do not use end notes, but from limited testing, it appears to work with endnotes as well but converts them to footnotes). It sounds complicated when you break it down into steps as I do below, but it really is easy and intuitive.
    FIRST: The underlying concept. If you have the latest Pages for iPad, then when it imports a Word document it imports footnotes (and endnotes) and you can edit them.
    With that in mind, here is how you can create footnotes on the iPad.
    #1 In Word create a one short sentence shell text with a short footnote, like "See the cat run /fn1" "fn/1 The cat was black").
    #2 Import that shell document into your iPad, say with email "open using Pages."
    #3 Save that shell document as your sour dough starter so to speak.
    #4 Now create your new Pages iPad document.
    #5 When you are ready to create your FIRST new footnote, copy and paste the shell sentence with shell footnote from your saved starter shell document into your new iPages document.
    #5. Edit the shell sentence and footnote to a real sentence and footnote in new document.
    #6 Thereafter, as you add new footnotes, either copy / paste one from new document or shell and edit. You will see they renumber properly, even when moved.

  • How to make footnotes/endnotes in Turabian format?

    I am trying to finish my final essay paper for my history class and I am finding it a little difficult to change my Footnotes/endnotes in Turabian format. I have tried looking on the inspector as where most changes are made for an essay, but I can not seem to get the specific format that I am looking for. If anyone has an idea of how I may be able to utilize pages to change the format to turabian that would be awesome. Any help is certainly appreciated. Thank you.

    The footnotes/endonotes numbers at the bottom or end of the essay/report are to be in full size numbers and they are indented.

  • Problems importing Word Doc footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver CS4

    I am having a problem importing a Word doc with footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver. When I do the import (or a copy and paste) I get the references without the actual number for the endnotes in superscript!
    I currently have Dreamweaver CS4 (though have also experienced this issue with Dreamweaver 8)
    I am currently using Word 2007 (but experienced this same problem with earlier versions of Word).
    The document has a standard sort of endnote. In the middle of the text there is a number in superscript that refers to a note at the end. When I do an import I get the nice set of back and forth references with anchors and links but missing the number! Let me copy and paste an example:
    Here is the text I have:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,[i] with the UK
    [i] DFID (2010) DFID in 2009-10.
    Now here is the HTML I get when I import:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"> </a> with the  UK
    And as an endnote:
    <div id="edn1">
        <p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"> </a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
      </div>
      <div id="edn2">
    What I really need is:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> with the  UK
    And as an endnote:
    <div id="edn1"><p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"><sup>1</sup></a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
      </div>  <div id="edn2">
    Does anyone know why these superscript numbers are missing? And how I can get Dreamweaver to put them in. I have long documents with 50 or more footnotes and would hate to have to redo this by hand!

    The problem is that some of the material in the endnote/footnote is explanatory in nature rather than just a reference or citation. So I need a way to include explanatory text and don't want to put multiple sentences in ( ) in the middle of the text.
    I would have to say clearly someone at Adobe did think conversion of endnotes/footnotes is a worthwhile endeavour, because Dreamweaver is designed to do it! You can see clearly from the code snippet that they programmed Dreamweaver to do an import with a very nice set of back and forth anchor references. Just somehow the actual reference numbers don't show up. In fact the HTML code for this provided by Dreamweaver is very clean and nice (contradicting bemdesign's assertion that you can not turn a word doc into a good HTML doc), with the exception of the missing number references!
    Is there a setting somewhere that I might need to play with to get this to work better?? Or something I need to do with the Word doc text before I do an import? Any other work around.

  • Does InDesign CC XML support Footnotes/Endnotes and Index Markers?

    Hi,
    Does InDesign CC XML support Footnotes/Endnotes and Index Markers already?
    Can anyone give me the list of limitations in XML to InDesign.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello MW,
    First of all thanks for your reply. Yes I can create an XSLT to change the XML stream ready for import into InDesign template that we have. I have also downloaded the Refoot.js and UnFoot.js. For the footnotes I have already workaround for that, but how about the index-markers and cross-references do you have any idea on how to deal with it?
    Actually I have already XSLT script that will convert XML to InDesign Tagged Text. But our client want us to use the XML embedded in InDesign so they can just export the InDesign back to XML easily. I know that there are limitations in XML to InDesign, but we need to proved to them that using XML is not good to use in this workflow because of those limitations. So I'm looking for the list so I can send to them to tell them that what they want is not doable since there are a lot of things that XML in InDesign can't do.
    We have existing XML to InDesign round tripping workflow; 1) first we have the XSLT that will convert XML to InDesign Tagged text including footnotes, endnotes cros-refeneces and index-markers; 2) once the layout is final will export the InDesign document to HTML; 3) use XSLT script to convert exported HTML to XML. But it seems this workflow is not efficient to them. Can anyone suggest what other workflow for round tripping XML to InDesign.
    Again thank you very much for your quick reply.
    Regards,
    Elmer

  • *** - no footnotes & endnotes in Pages for iPad?!

    OK - I just got an iPad and am in general fairly happy about it. But I had a big *** moment, after I purchased Pages and tried to open a document I had been working on on my Mac. Guess what - iPad Pages won't import footnotes and endnotes!
    Does anyone know if Apple is planning on changing this in an upcoming release? This is truly unacceptable. How can Apple expect all of its student customers to use it, not to mention other academics? This strikes me as a large portion of their customer base. What's worse, the advertising leads one to believe that, besides some complex formatting, everything you can do on Pages for Mac can also be done on Pages for the iPad.
    Has anyone found a workaround to this 'bug'? I don't know whether Apple did this intentionally or not, but it's a very serious drawback of the app.
    I will tell my student friends not to download Pages for iPad, until this is fixed. Apple - get with it!
    A loyal but disappointed Apple customer

    I agree with most of what you are trying to get across, except that I think there are a few problems when applied to the issue at hand (footnotes on iPad Pages).
    1) Yes, I agree the OP could have found out. I haven't bought an iPad yet, and this is one of the reasons (along with issues with Keynote), and the fact that I until these things are solved, my MacBook Pro works fine. However, here are a few lines right from Apple's product page on the iTunes store...
    - View and edit existing documents by importing Pages '09 or Microsoft Word files from Mail attachments or web.
    - Share your work by exporting to Pages '09, Microsoft Word, or PDF and sending it via Mail. …
    - Transfer documents between Mac or PC and your iPad using File Sharing in iTunes.
    Now, combine that with the fact that this isn't called 'Pages Lite' or iPadMiniWrite... one sure gets the impression that things are going to be more seamless. Not even a little asterisk noting some feature difference in files or that you lose certain document aspects when going back and fourth. You'd have to be fairly tech-savvy to pick up the word 'export' and 'import' and imply this from that. One would guess that for MS Word or some other word processor, but not when the app has the same name and the above statements are made.
    2) Yes, I realize footnotes aren't trivial, but they are a basic feature of every word-processor I've ever used (mail merge probably as well)..... I'm pretty sure even back on computers with several times less processing power and RAM than the iPad has. There are some incredibly complex applications for the iPad. Unless there is some really crazy limitation I can't conceive of, footnotes aren't a technical limitation issue.
    3) I'm not blaming Apple for anything other than being pretty unclear about this. Make it clear... then let the user decide. While I love Apple, this is walking a pretty fine line near deception IMO. I do remember finding this out and being somewhat ******-off at the time because I had been tricked after the keynote (speech), and reading EVERYTHING I could find on the topic. This didn't come out until some real reviewers got their hands on one and discovered and exposed it. I certainly wasn't the only one who was shocked by this. That isn't cool, and isn't the Apple I know.
    4) I don't really think it is an unfair complaint. This is something Apple should implement (and hopefully will)... and be clear about until then. At the very least, if the iPad can't support footnotes, it should at least somehow preserve them in the file so that if you save and go back to the desktop, it hasn't stripped them out.
    BTW, sorry for inferring you were a fanboy... and welcome to the world of Apple. I think you'll find that long-time Apple users can be extremely critical of Apple products when we feel they aren't living up to expectations in some way. And, believe it or not, Apple often does listen..... which I think is at least part of what has made them a great company.

  • Footnote/Endnote Nightmare in CS3

    I can't believe this isn't fixed in CS3! !
    I import a Word file with footnotes at the end of each chapter, but they import into InDesign as one running stream of footnotes without regard to chapters and then are placed at the end of my document as Endnotes. Is there no way around this once the file is imported, or do I have to start all over with a separate file for each chapter?

    >I import a Word file with footnotes at the end of each chapter
    Then they're endnotes, not footnotes, and ID doesn't have native support for endnotes. If you want endnotes, you'll have to fake them and manually place them (or use a script).

  • Automatically re-order footnotes/endnotes?

    I have a document with over 150 endnotes that I'm collaborating on with an editor. The editor removed some of the endnotes in the process of re-wording certain passages. Now we want to add them back in, but we're finding that they do not automatically re-order. Is there a way to do that? Also, for some reason, when I insert a new endnote in the middle of the document it is showing up as #1, rather than the number right after the endnote.

    Anybody?

  • Can you use footnotes AND endnotes in the same document?

    I just found out today that I have to have both footnotes (for comments and annotations) and section endnotes (for citations), to follow the formatting guidelines for my thesis... do you know if it's possible to use both with Pages '09?  I've spent a long time formatting as it is and really don't want to transfer my document to Word or anything (since I'll lose some of my settings)...  I would appreciate any suggestions!  Thanks!

    The style of footnote/endnote is part of the Document settings so it appears that only one applies per document.
    You could switch between them and copy the endnotes as ordinary text into a document which has footnotes.
    That would be the only workaround I can think of.

  • Formatting endnotes and footnotes

    I'm writing a small book in Pages '09, and want to have some footnotes in my Introduction, and then throughout the rest of the text there are in-text citations that I will have an Endnotes section for at the end of the book. I have 2 footnotes (i and ii) in the Intro, but then I want my endnotes to start with 1.
    I have a section break after my Introduction, and expected that the footnote/endnote settings in Inspector would apply to sections individually so I could assign a different format for the endnotes. But the Inspector settings seem to apply to the whole document, and I can't seem to format my endnotes differently from my footnotes. Advice?

    The notes come in 3 styles, bottom of the page, end of the section, or end of the document.
    Choose one.

  • Cannot copy and paste footnotes

    When trying to enter my short papers into my College's system I "select all" and copy but when I go to paste the footnotes are not there...HELP!

    A quick look in these forums and also the reviews in the App Store would quickly reveal that Pages 5 is a cut down, buggy downgrade from the previous version and is not a clone of Microsoft Word.
    3 Quick tests show that:
    1. Pages 5.2 only lets you select one Footnote/Endnote at a time. They are not treated as part of the document body text and you have to pick through them one at a time.
    2. Word: Mac treats the Footnotes/Endnotes as a group independent of the document body but selectable as a separate group.
    3. Pages '09 acts the same way that Word: Mac does.
    None of them lets you Select all and include the Footnotes/Endnotes because the Footnotes/Endnotes are in an independent layout of the document body. Much like floating Textboxes, but fixed in their location.
    Exporting the document to .rtf from either Word or Pages '09 does include the text in the Footnotes/Endnotes in the document body, but destroys much of the layout. Pages 5.2 can not export to rtf, because Apple removed that feature along with 100 others.
    The immediate question I have is: Why are you cutting and pasting documents into your College's system?
    Doesn't your College's system accept uploading of Word files?
    Also why use software that is not a clone of Word, which is what it seems you want, rather than use Word or LibreOffice [free] or the dozens of alternative applications out there?

  • Footnotes in textboxes and table

    I can not place a footnote / endnote into a textbox or table. Are there any solutions out there as to how I could get around this?

    As far as I know, the response is no. This is why we can't use notes in Layout mode.
    Workaround:
    Mimic the aspect of notes with superscript
    and put the text of the note in a box of your own.

  • Microsoft Word Footnote Numbering Problems

    I have a long manuscript that's been edited. It's in MS Word 2004, although I've tried converting to the latest Word and that didn't help.
    If I edit out a section that includes a note, my footnote/endnote numbering goes wrong. If I take out note #6, I cannot have a note 6 and so the notes go from 5 to 7. Microsoft's Mac help is worthless. Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried changing symbols, etc. I've deleted whole sections thinking there's something hidden, etc.

  • Adding footnotes in Dreamweaver 2004

    Please could someone help a Silver Surfer - I wish to include numbers in a text document i.e. (1)- (2) and link them to an explanatory footnote/s at the bottom of the finished document. By this I mean clicking (1) in the text links to Footnote (1) at the bottom of the page. I am up to speed with ordinary hyperlinks but am unable to fathom how to do this. I would be grateful for any help.

    BL ::
    I must be terribly dim-witted.
        No, just learning something new! ;)
    BL ::
    Have read and re-read how to use Named Anchors I am just unable to get a connection. I have a document containing footnotes i.e.(1)in the document test which when clicked will bring up the footnote 1.School Farm - (2) in the text which will bring up footnote 2.Rectory Farm and so on.
        I know; those instructions are sometimes very dense to read; bad instructional designers. Ok; When you create named anchors, these are special types of links that connect to locations inside your own document. These are not external links such as
    a href (web link) and
    mailto: (email link). Named anchors are actually
    labels, and have the HTML denotation
    "«a name="your_anchor_label"»«/a»".
    Use your Code View to see the HTML.     If I read you correctly, you seem to be putting a literal hash (#) character in your little naming box. Don't do that. Maybe that is one thing that got confused when you read the help section. Hash marks are (in HTML
    coding
    ) ONLY for the reference TO the named anchor, which is "the link", but actually the link
    target. The Named Anchor is merely the target location
    in the HTML code itself that "marks" the reference endpoint, i.e., the footnote/endnote target. That's what happens when you choose Insert>Named Anchor. You name the anchor, not the originating activating hyperlink. Better?
    To connect the dots you have to keep track of two locations:
    1. your referencing link
    pointer, i.e.    School Farm
    1,
    and
    2. its anchor
    ed linkage location, i.e. the footnote itself, or    
    1. Rectory Farm [& etc].
        Click at the beginning of the paragraph of your
    footnote and choose Insert>Named Anchor from the Insert menu. You must then type in a name that has
    no spaces. None. You could just as well name it rectoryfarm_note or RectoryFarm if you so wished. Just keep track of the upper/lowercase spellings.
        No.2 above is the named anchor, the "marker label" in your document where the footnote actually is.     No.1 above
    calls forth the named anchor; these have to be connected in the HTML code. To do that, the easy way is to
    select your anchor reference [your superscript numeral, usually] and type in #YourAnchorName into the link field in the Properties panel/inspector.
        In the Properties Inspector link field, you must use and/or see the # (hash) symbol in front of the
    exact spelling (upper/lower case sensitive) you have given your named anchor. In this case, it would be #RectoryFarm or whatever.
        The # ONLY goes on the in-text footnote marker
    link in the Properties Inspector link field, not in the naming of the Named Anchor.
        Test it in your web browser; the link will (should) jump to your footnote. (To jump
    back, you have to also add a reverse of the process, and make up a named anchor connection to your in-text footnote location, too. Ugh. Gets more complicated,....    :) )
        Here is a bit of example code to illustrate.
    =========
    ... that denote neobaroque art.<*sup><*b>
    ><*a href="#note_003">3<*/a><*/b><*/sup>
    «--- the superscripted numeral
    <*b><*
    a name="note_003"><*/a>18 <*/b> Jacqueline Barnitz,
    <*i>Twentieth-century art of Latin America<*/i>, 1st ed. (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2001), p.202 <*/b>
    this is the footnote with the Named Anchor! (a name="note_003"; leave in the quote marks)
    ==========
        NOTE: Where ever you see an asterisk, I have had to insert that to force Adobe to show you code. Leave out the asterisk! (Also, named anchors are 'hidden' from view in the Dreamweaver editing window; you need to turn on 'Show Invisible Elements' in the View>Visual Aids menu. Then you will be shown a cute little yellow anchor symbol/signal where your named anchors are located within your text. It will not show the referencing link, though. That shows up as blue and underlined.)
    Hope this is a bit clearer.
