      Hello all! This is my first post in the IDS forum! I tried everything (CS3, Windows XP pro) and I can't figure out how to use wordwrap to affect text inside of footnotes. I want the graphic to be part of footnotes. I tried pasting the graphic into the footnotes area, but it just offsets the text without any wrap. Is there a trick to this?

      Thanks!

      You're not going to be happy about this, but ID's footnotes ignore text wrap. Even worse, they ignore non-rectangular frames, so you cannot even change the frame shape to make this work. The only solution is to make the footnotes manually (not using the auto footnote feature).

      Dear Mr. Blatner,

      Thanks for answering. I knew it ignored the text wrap, that is why I was writing in. I didn't know there were no tricks for it, although I suspected that was the case. Perhaps I can create a not-so-wide text box underneath my main text frame and stitch the text boxes together? At least then I can manually reserve some space for a graphic while retaining the footnotes? I'll have to try that.
