Split from Recently I upgraded my Mac to High Sierra. Now, whenever using Word, the footnotes appear in a diminutive script, much smaller than the 12pt font they were originally assigned. I typically use Times font. If I switch the font to Cambria or Times New Roman, the problem disappears. However, I have numerous 200-page books already formatted with numerous diacritical characters so it is not really practical to simply do a global change on the entire document. Do you have a fix for this problem? Thanks much in advance.
Most Mac users are likely accustomed to the San Francisco system font in MacOS Sierra by now, which was first introduced in El Capitan after initially changing to Helvetica Neue in Yosemite. But if you’re a creature of habit, you may still prefer to have the good old classic Lucida Grande font as the system font in MacOS Sierra. Jan 7, 2017 - El Capitan and Sierra have something called System Integrity..com/2014/11/21/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-in-mac-os-x/. On macOS High Sierra, how can I make a folder in the dock open in Finder by default?
Neha, Thanks much for your response. Unfortunately, that does not really help. As I explained earlier, I work with very large book-sized documents and employ numerous different fonts (like diacritical marks). If I simply change the Times font to Times Roman all of these other fonts will be affected and countless hours of work will be lost (Note: I have dozens of such large manuscripts). Ideally, what is required is a solution that just changes the font of the footnotes in the actual text itself. Naturally, I know how to change the footnotes at the bottom of the page with a global command, but I can't seem to find a simple command to change the footnotes in the text to Times New Roman without changing the rest of the text. Hi Ev, I did some experimentation.
If you format the style of a footnote, the scope is that the style change affects the footnote text, but not the body text. If this is what you are seeking to do, use the Format menu and choose Style.
In the list of Styles on the left, select Footnote Text, then click the Modify button and adjust the text to your liking. If you change the style of the body text, all of the body text is affected, not just the superscript. In your situation, if you want to affect only the superscripts, you should write a macro that seeks superscripted text, formats the superscripted text only, and loops through your document and applies the desired formatting to all the superscripts.
