Is there a way to discover the page number of a book/reference work so that it can be inserted into a footnote?
Most, but not all resources have page numbers. If the page number exists, it will show in the reference box (where the Bible reference appears in Bibles). If there's already another entry in the reference box, you can click on it and choose to see other other reference type. You can also turn on the page numbers visual filter by clicking the three circles next to the reference box:
I don't know how helpful you'll find this, but depending on the program you're pasting into, you can get the footnotes with page numbers automatically. If you go into Program Settings and turn on 'Copy Citations' and paste into a program that supports the data (like MS Word, you'll get the citation style you choose in Program Settings, right next to the Copy Citations setting). I've noticed that not everything will take them, like if I copy/paste into the text box on Blogger, so I end up copying and pasting into Word first, then transferring the citation over.
But here's an example of what I get when I paste into Word. You'll see that the page numbers, 80-81, appear:
The love of God is not merely to be analyzed,understood, and adopted into holistic categories of integrated theologicalthought. It is to be received, to be absorbed, to be felt. Meditate long andfrequently on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21. [1]

Mark, Thanks for that. I was able to get what I needed by using the visual filter. I knew I could count on you. BTW, love your videos.
