Customised "footnotes" (on the right side of the page)
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2021 5:36 pm
Hello Everyone,
I'm writing text where the body text appear on the left side of the page and the "footnotes" on the right side. I have set up a document, orientated the page in landscape, set the page to the left hand side (for the body text) and set a field for the right hand side (for the "footnotes"). So far so good
My problem: I've added Numbers to the sentences in the body text which I would like to footnote, but so far I am manually adding these footnotes (and their numbers) in the field which corresponds to the page. But as this is manual, when I change the position of the sentence in the body text, the numbering does not update in the field (as it would do if i was using the conventional footnote or endnote function).
I thought that 'cross-referencing' might be a way to do this, but I can't figure it out. I would be super grateful for any tips.
PS. Hopefully the attached screen grab makes it clearer
