This doesn’t make sense to me. Given my settings these should be FOOTNOTES not endnotes. It doesn’t matter what I export or open it with, they end up at the bottom of the manuscript. This is unnacceptable that this is so difficult. I’m going to assume this is a bug. I shouldn’t be wasting an hour trying to figure out how to make a footnote a damn footnote.
In my compose/export settings I have nothing checked for the footnote stuff, which means it should show up as a footnote as you would assume. Yet when I save it—pdf, doc, docx—it shows up as an end note. No!
By the way, it also really frustrates me that I can’t preview the footnote… as a footnote! Can it please be default to do this like we are accustomed to in word/google docs and just show it as it should appear so I can get a live view of what my document will be?
I’m compiling, and using the APA Format. I tried Manuscript but still at the end. I saw someone do this on youtube with windows and it worked as expected. I am on osx. 3.1.4.
Ok, APA must want them at the end. I just tried paperback and saw them as footnotes. I’d like them inline, although maybe that’s not acceptable for APA school papers. If I want that I guess I need to figure out which one to export as.
Look at the Settings pane (gear icon) in the right hand panel of the main Compile screen. First three options allow you to export footnotes as endnotes, or to remove them altogether.
Yep, I had those all unchecked. Which means they should show as a footnote. But for some reason the APA format doesn’t like that despite both footnotes and endnotes being acceptable in APA format. Seems like that should be an option and might be a bug.
At least for my present issue, I figured out Times Manuscript is what I want. Thanks for helping pointing me in the right direction!
