This doesn't work any longer. I'm posting this here to keep it handy, in case it starts working again someday.
Manually editing a template-built footnote
 |
Sometimes you want a footnote to contain more than a citation template. You can make changes to such a footnote using the "Basic form" footnote editor. |
|
| |
 |
Click once on the footnote that you want to edit, to select it. Don't click on the "Edit" button in the pop-up dialog, because that will take you to the simplified template editor. Instead, click on the "Cite" button in the main toolbar. |
|
| |
 |
The "Cite" button will take you to the citation dialog. Choose the "Manual" tab, and then click on "Basic form". |
|
| |
 |
Clicking "Basic form" will take you to a free-form text editor for the footnote. The existing information in the footnote, a citation template, will be shown. You can place your cursor before or after the citation template to type additional text or to insert pictures, templates, mathematical formulae, or more next to the citation template.
You can also do a several things with the existing citation template. You could delete that template, and then replace it with other content. (This is convenient if you are replacing a named footnote and want all instances on the page to be replaced by your new content.) You could copy the template so that it could be pasted somewhere else (as a citation, not a footnote). Or you could double-click the citation template to open the template editor. |

 |
To add a new template, click the "Insert" menu and then choose "Template". The process is then the same as adding a template to the main page. |
|
| |
 |
When you have finished filling in all of the relevant fields for the template, click "Insert". The template you just added will appear where your cursor was originally placed.
When you have finished inserting text, templates, and other content, click on "Apply changes" to go back to the main editing window. |
