modify settings for footnote reference marker in footnote

Hi, how do I modify the appearance of the footnote reference marker in the footnote?

I use OpenType proportional lining digits in the footnote text, and so the reference markers are also OpenType proportional lining:

For the reference marker, I'd like to use OT tabular lining instead:

The rest of the footnote, however, should still have OT proportional lining footnote digits. I have created a character style that I can apply (by searching for ~F). Is there a solution to build this into the style itself so that no subsequent Find/Change is necessary?

 

Thanks

Samuel

Hi Samuel,

look into Nested Styles in your applied paragraph style.

Sorry I've only just now seen that you had provided some further info (for some reason I had turned off all email notifications – they're turned on now).
