Description: Can't change the indent on the footnotes in this example document. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the example file 2.Try to change the indent for the footnote 3.You can't Actual Results: Play with the example file and tell me how to change the indent in the footnote! Expected Results: Modifying the footnote style's paragraph indentation should make changes to the footnote's indent. It does not. Caveat: the file was orginally created in OmniPage Pro 18. The output of OmniPro is a 2007 .docx file. I import styles from a .odt file that has what I need for my doctoral work and everything formats / changes as I expect EXCEPT for the footnote indentation. I think I have exhausted every option to know what is going on and I am asking for someone else to look and see if they can see what is wrong. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 193774 [details] Example file that has the problem This file resists changing the footnote indentation and I don't know why. Again, for reference, the file was originally created in OmniPage Pro 18 and then I imported styles from a sample document built from a new .odt document. All attempts to adjust the indentation in the footnote fails. My testing says that it is something that OmniPage did, but I can't find what needs to change to make footnote indentation work again...

Could you please attach .docx-file? => NEEDINFO Additional information I don't know why this happens, but if you place curser behind footnote number and press backspace you get the correct indent
Created attachment 193976 [details] A 2007 version of a .docx created by OmniPage Pro version 18 This is a freshly made file output from OmniPage 18 Pro without any changes. Try adding a footnote -- the indenting is wrong and I haven't been able to fix it. Someone asked for a raw sample file -- here it is.

Maybe also attaching the "source" ODT (from which your styles are supposed to come from) would help to understand what you are hoping to achieve. Currently, I see in you example DOCX that: - the number is left-aligned with the page body and horizontal line separator - There is no space between the number and the first line of footnote text - The following lines of the paragraph use a 0.6 cm indentation Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7a895ec4205659038aa95941b65715fed1a3e7be CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded There is indeed a change between 7.6 and 24.2: in 7.6, there is space between the numbering and the text. I bibisected the change with the linux-64-24.2 repo to build [75beb49a132788db35592b449cc8a3506f50a6fd] which is: commit 87f11c2961cd4bb8be6bc8f62442a706da0420b7 author Mike Kaganski Fri Jan 26 19:03:05 2024 +0600 committer Michael Stahl Tue Jan 30 10:57:39 2024 +0100 tdf#159382: introduce a Word compat flag for hanging footnote number spacing Mike, can you please clarify if this is expected?
Indeed, it is expected and normal; the file has the compatibility flag that tells it to behave as DOCX works: NoGapAfterNoteNumber. Since the file was created by re-saving a DOCX, this is normal. The problem is that I didn't make the flag shown in Options->Writer->Compatibility (like bug 153138).
So, how can you change the indenting in the footnotes. The system seems to want to let you set indents -- and ignores your efforts...
1. There is no indentation between the footnote number and the rest of the text for documents that use the MS compatibility flag, hence the behavior. You may use Tools->Footnote/Endnote Settings, and add a space in the "After" field. This would make the space added automatically. 2. As said, the setting should eventually be added to the compatibility options available in the UI, which would enable users to control it.
