I also want to set just a selection of text within a text frame as columns. I also want to have multiple text frames on a page but have all the footnotes collect into a single location, rather than at the bottom of each text frame. Has anyone bought the virginia systems footnoting plug-in? At US$195 I’d be looking for some solid reviews of it before I could justify the expense. I first read about this in the chapter about the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland… (The Type menu only lists Insert Footnote, unless your cursor’s already in a footnote, in which case the command is replaced by Go to Footnote Reference.) It’s totally dependent on what the Type menu is currently showing. Interestingly, Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts doesn’t list Go to Footnote Reference as an available command that is, not unless your type cursor is blinking in a footnote. What it can’t do is the one thing you describe, it can’t jump from the footnote reference in the body text to the footnote that belongs to it. Press it again in the footnote, it jumps to the footnote reference in the body text. Press it once in the body text, it inserts a footnote. If you assign a keyboard shortcut to Insert Footnote (Product Area: Type menu), the same shortcut will toggle your cursor position.

I often need to toggle between editing the body text and the footnote text and it?s annoying having to click back and forth. Love that Story Editor! XML Tags are also much easier to see there. Or you can just click on one of the boxes on either side of the footnote. If you’re in Story Editor view and you don’t want to see all the footnote text, choose View > Story Editor > Collapse All Footnotes. In this window the text and the footnotes are all “in line” so it’s really easy to edit both.

Instead, press Command/Ctrl-Y to open the Story Editor window. But I know of no way to jump down to a footnote reference automatically. Well, when your cursor is in the footnote text, you can choose Type > Go to Footnote Reference to jump back up to where the footnote number is in the body text. However, when using footnotes, I often need to toggle between editing the body text and the footnote text and it’s annoying having to click back and forth. The footnote feature is limited and doesn’t do everything it should (such as the fact that you can’t make a footnote straddle two columns of text)… I know that, but for most footnotes in most documents, I think it works pretty well. I know that I’ll get 10 comments about how

The footnote text appears at the bottom of the text. I love being able to add footnotes in CS2 - I just click where I want a footnote and choose Type > Insert Footnote.
