Footnotes in EZ
What footnotes are
Footnotes in EZ are insets that appear in on-line documents as little asterisks within boxes. When you print a document containing a footnote, the footnote appears at the bottom of the page, just like you'd want it to.
The following are two examples of footnotes.[1] Click once on their asterisks to open them. [2]
This help file will introduce you to the use of ez footnotes. It assumes that you are reasonably familiar with some of the general options discussed in the introductory ez help file. This document has the following sections:
Making a Footnote
Deleting a Footnote
Searching and Spellchecking with Footnotes

Making a Footnote
To insert a footnote into a working document, position the text caret at the desired footnote reference point and select Insert Footnote from the Page menu. EZ places a footnote inset, [3], at that point to indicate the presence of a footnote. Begin typing immediately to enter the contents of the footnote. Text entered as a footnote appears beneath a bar, as shown in the above footnote examples.
You can treat the text entered into a footnote as you would any other text. Different styles, formatting options, and insets can all be placed within a footnote entry. For more information, see the ez and insets helpfiles.
Deleting a Footnote
To delete a footnote entry, first make sure that the footnote inset is closed (see the section, What footnotes are above). Position the text caret to the right of the footnote inset and backspace. The message,
Really delete inset(s)?
is printed in a dialogue box. Click in the appropriate box (either yes or no) to continue or abort the deletion. When properly deleted, the entire footnote entry vanishes leaving only the text caret in its place.
Searching and Spellchecking with Footnotes
In order to search through or check the spelling of footnote entries, the footnote insets must be opened, or readable. For this reason, you might need to open and close every footnote in a particular document.
To open all footnote insets, select the Open Footnotes option from the Page menu. Similarly, choose Close Footnotes to close all footnote insets.
To open or close a single footnote, click once on its inset.
Notice that the asterisk of a closed footnote's inset becomes "fatter," indicating that text is contained within. This feature helps you distinguish between footnotes that are closed and footnotes that are empty.
Printing and Previewing with Footnotes
Although footnote entries created in an EZ document appear within the body of the text itself, the positioning of footnotes in the final printout is quite different. Printed footnote entries are numbered and placed at the bottom of the appropriate page. In addition, footnote reference numbers are superscripted within the text at the original insertion point.
EZ automatically closes all footnote insets when printing or previewing.
