Footnote color

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hello Lief

The issue is, though, that you can't access the footnote number alone, since it's not defined in the footnote paragraph format. Any changes to the paragraph format are applied to the whole footnote, not just the number. As far as I can see, there is no way to format the number differently from the text. This appears to be so whether you are using structured or unstructured documents. I'd be happy to be proved wrong...

Regards,
Roger

Do you want the color applied universally to all footnotes through a template or do you want each footnote to have its own color?
  
  To apply color to all footnotes, simply change the color of your Footnote tag in your template. You could also apply color on a one-off basis, but that creates paragraph overrides -- something most FrameMaker users usually want to avoid.
  
  To apply color to the Footnote number, I think you'll need to create a Character tag that is the color that you want and apply that Character tag to the number.

  Hi -
  
  Is there a way to automatically apply a color to a footnote number,  
  both in text and in the footnote?
  
  Thanks.
  
  Pat
