Use 2 different footnotes style in one page

Could you explain how one would fake what you described?

Do you have just a few "custom" Footnotes that you can handle manually or a lot?

You could use a trick - hide automatic Footnote Markers - but still use built-in mechanism to handle Footnotes' text contents - and add your own "markers".

But then you'll have to re-number everything manually...

Here is an example of two kinds of Footnotes - Author's and Court's:

(text is garbled)

Blue - InDesign's Footnote markers - shown here but should be set to 0.1pt, color=none, Horizontal Scale=1%, etc. - hidden,

Yellow - markers for "automatic" Footnotes - Author's - that normally would be numbered by InDesign automatically - but, in this case, re-numbered by script,

Green - markers for "custom" Footnotes - Court's - ignored by script when re-numbering.

The whole text has been imported from WORD - so the conversion has been done 100% automatically.

Of course, if you prefer / need to add Footnotes in the InDesign - not a problem. It can be handled as well.

Re-numbering can be done at any time:

Because Ftn Marker in the texts can't exists without the corresponding marker in the Footnotes - and vice versa - I'm just searching, in this case, for "Ftn Auto" CharStyle - then re-number found results twice - once for markers found in the Story and 2nd time for markers found in the Footnotes. In case of more than one column for Footnotes - extra column in the 2nd sorting step would be needed - "Pos X".

And, of course, you can have as many "custom" Footnotes as you want - as long as they have different Char/ParaStyles and can be mixed together.

Separation will be handled in the future.
