Hi!

I would like to have my footnotes in a Word document be in a row versus a column.

---
a. Footnote 1 b. Footnote 2 c. Footnote 3 etc.

instead of

---
a. Footnote 1
b. Footnote 2
c. Footnote 3

The intention of doing Footnotes this way is to save space.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

Thanks.

You could choose 4 columns, but, that's the max... 🤷‍♂️

Why not create a table with as many columns as you like and insert the footnotes into this table.
