Reply To: change Footnote style

So far as I know, it can’t be done automatically, and you can’t change InDesign’s numbering system.

Are the footnotes renumbering at every page, or at every chapter?

If per page, then hopefully you won’t have enough footnotes to number as high as the # you want.

The only way to trick InDesign is to type the asterisk after the InDesign callout, and make the original callout white. Then back the # back over it. Then repeate in the footnote itself. Of course, this could turn into a nightmare if there are more footnotes after the # on that page. Of if during the next pass there is a lot of reflow and foonotes move to other pages.

I don’t believe there are any plug-ins that will do what you want.
