Reply To: Force update footnote separator between number and start of text

I took special interest in damiang's problem because most of my jobs require extensive footnotes, often with an en-space separator. I couldn't quite duplicate it in IDCS4, though I did notice that when I use the Footnote Options to swap the separator between ftnt number and ftnt text from en-dash to em-dash, the change didn't always appear to “take” instantly; but scrolling up or down to another page seemed to fix things.

If that's all it is, I'm not so worried. But what bugs me about ID's footnote options is how it sometimes “forgets” to include the Rule Above for continued footnotes when that setting differs from the first footnote in a column. Maybe scrolling up or down would fix this, but I don't think so. The only way I know to refresh the rule above is to change the setting and then change it back, but I don't always remember to do this as my last step before sending out proofs.
