Reply To: Indented Footnotes with Hanging Numbers

Ari,

I don’t think that you can do this entirely automatically. I would do this: set up the footnote style with left indent and negative first-line indent. This will cause the second and following paragraphs to be set with negative first-line indent too. Then at some stage run this Find/Change:

Find what: ^([^~F])
Change to: $1
Find Format: <the note paragraph style>
And include the footnotes in the search

Save it as a GREP query. If you run that query frequently, you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut as follows. If you saved the query as footnote indent, save this one-line script in your script folder:

app.loadFindChangeQuery ('footnote indent', SearchModes.grepSearch);
app.activeDocument.changeGrep();

Then in the Keyboard Shortcuts window, apply a shortcut to that script.
