[Beta 26] Styles for footnotes?

Just took the time to install Beta 27 under Crossover and link a mouse. It all works for me:

1. open in Scrivenings mode;
2. select first inspector footnote/comment;
3. Ctrl-A selects all inspector footnotes/comments;
4. Right-click with mouse opens drop-down menu giving “Convert to default text style”
   I can only presume that clicking that will work on all the footnotes/comments; as mine are already in the default text style, I’d have to spend time setting up another test-bed project.

I tried several times, but I am afraid I can only select one footnote’s text with Ctrl+A. Even if I could, I doubt this could be a solution, as I just wrote above. )

It does not work if you click directly in a comment (that way only lets you reformat comment by comment). If you click in the blank space underneath them (all of them), you may use Ctrl+A, right-click, and reformat to default style. It does not seem to lose individual formatting of elements of the text (boldface, underline, italic). Technically, this should work on hundreds of comments, although it might take some time to select so many.

Thank you very much, RW—I have finally done it! However, my approach framed above stays exactly the same: we need to have our footnotes tagged with some special paragraph style on export to .RTF, or .DOCX, or .ODT-file. The export of styles cannot be regarded as fully correct if body text and footnotes end up in Word with the same styles.
