Fixing Footnote and Endnote settings forever

[KDuncan]

I am having trouble with MS Word for footnotes and endnotes. First, it keeps using lower-case Roman numerals, e.g., i, ii, iii, for footnote numbers. I've tried to change this, but it happens each time I create an endnote. Second, the first line should be indented, including the endnote number. However, while I can fix both of these in two minutes, I don't want to have to keep doing that over and over. I'm editing book chapters and I don't want to waste time on this in every single chapter. How can I force MS Word to do what I want globally, or at least within one document? Thanks.

I tried to fix this but what I got was

an indented 1 with more indentation and i. That's completely wrong. How big is the indent for a note supposed to be? I thought it would be the same as a paragraph, but this looks larger.

Footnotes and Endnotes are different things and their numbering style can be set independently. You can customise either of them from the same dialog (References > Footnotes Group Dialog Launcher)

If you also want to change the paragraph indent settings, you need to modify the attributes of the associated style - either 'Footnote Text' or 'Endnote Text'
