Footnotes

I am wondering why sometimes when I cut and paste it makes the footnote at the bottom of the page and sometimes it doesn't -- in this case, I am looking to include footnote material for a seminar/lecture that I will be doing? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kurt - and welcome to the forums

I am wondering why sometimes when I cut and paste it makes the footnote at the bottom of the page and sometimes it doesn't -- in this case, I am looking to include footnote material for a seminar/lecture that I will be doing?

In the cases when the footnote doesn't appear are you just copying a small amount of text?

There was a design decision taken to not copy the footnote in those cases. I can't remember, at the moment, what the cutoff point was.

Is there a way to turn the footnote feature on (even for a small amount of text)? If it is just for my sermon notes, I can just record book, author and page but when I am presenting notes at a lecture/seminar I need to properly cite my source material. Thanks, PK

I don't think so

I found a reference to an old discussion where the reason for this was stated - http://community.logos.com/forums/t/35742.aspx

Is this consistent with what you are seeing - that you don't get citations when you are copying less than 50 characters?

No - my quotes are not pages and pages, but definitely longer than 50 characters. I just cut and pasted about 3 paragraphs (half to two-thirds of a page) and still no footnote/citation info appeared. I am simply highlighting in a book that I am reading in logos and then using control c and then control v (going into microsoft publisher).

Interesting..... I just tried the same quote going into to a word doc and the footnote stuff IS there. I guess I may need to switch to word doc (which is unfortunate since I know publisher so much better!!) Any suggestions, let me know.

Thanks.

Ok - glad we got that potential issue out of the way

(going into microsoft publisher).

Just to clarify - sometimes pasting into Publisher works includes captions and sometimes it doesn't? Is that correct?

If so, is it consistent and can you identify a passage in a resource which doesn't?

My memory says that it has been inconsistent with Microsoft publisher (sometimes citation/footnotes appearing and sometimes not). However, right now, I cannot get any citation information to appear in publisher at all (tried a couple of long quotes and still nothing). Footnotes are appearing in microsoft word (even short half sentence quotes are getting footnote info).

I've just tried pasting into Publisher and I don't get any citation information

From a brief look on the Internet it appears that Publisher doesn't support this capability - but I'm not an expert in Publisher.
