Hello There, cannot put footnote separator at the right side in footer.


I am preparing an urdu book and want to add some footnote, but footnote separator is coming at left side of the page. but I want footnote separator at right side in the footer. Please tell me if somebody knows how to do it. I have uploaded the picture of it. Thanks in advance.

This is a property of the page style. I assume you’re a beginner and never played yet with page styles.

Display the styles navigator in the side pane (F11 or Styles>Manage Styles). Click on the fourth icon from left in the styles toolbar (the one looking like a small page – Page Styles when you hover over it) to list page styles.

The currently used is highlighted (likely to be Default Style). Right-click on it and Modify.

Go to the Footnote tab. You can tune there all properties of the separator line, amongst which Position you set at Right in the drop-down menu.

In the latest version 24 the separator line options are removed.

Is there another way?

Using 24.8.2.1 this is what I see in footnote under page style:

Here’s what I see. I’m using 24.8.1.2

Ok, I solved it by copying all the contents to a new writer file.
