Changing the formatting of endnotes

You can change both the formatting of the endnote text as well as the endnote mark (the endnote number) as desired.

Formatting endnote text

To change the formatting of the text of an individual endnote, simply position the text cursor in the endnote text and apply the desired formatting.

Tip: If you want to change the formatting of the text for all endnotes in the whole document, TextMaker can save you a lot of work. All you have to do is change the paragraph style "Endnote Text", which TextMaker automatically creates as soon as you insert the first endnote.

By default, the text of all endnotes is formatted with this paragraph style. As long as you have not manually changed the formatting of the endnote texts, changes to the "Endnote Text" style will affect all endnote texts in the document.

To edit this style, proceed as follows:

1.Right-click to open the context menu and select Paragraph style.
2.Select the "Endnote Text" style in the list and click on Edit.
3.The program displays a dialog box in which you can change the formatting. Make the desired changes there. Tip: You can also change the character formatting by clicking on the Character button on the Paragraph tab.
4.Exit the dialog boxes with OK and then Close.

For general information on using styles, see Styles.

Formatting endnote marks

The endnote mark (i.e. the endnote number) of endnotes is automatically added as a superscript by TextMaker. However, you can change its character formatting according to your preference. Select the endnote mark, right-click to open the context menu and select Character to open the dialog box (alternatively: choose the ribbon tab Home | group Character with the group arrowgroup_arrow). Make the desired changes in the dialog box.

Tip 1: All endnote marks are automatically formatted with the "Footnote Reference" character style (note: character style, not paragraph style!). If you edit this style via the context menu with the entry Character style, all footnote and endnote marks in the document change their appearance accordingly.

Tip 2: The sidebar is recommended to enable you to orient yourself better with respect to formatting endnotes or footnotes via paragraph styles/character styles. It will be easier for you to identify endnote text/footnote text (function: Paragraph style) and footnote marks (function: Character style) here.
