That helps me. I've added it to my notes and hope I do it correctly -- if
not I'm sure madeleine will return it to me to be corrected smile

Hi Rik,
I'll cut and paste here a summary of what Madeleine posted a while ago
about how to handle the footnote information when it is below the text on a
page. Short summary: don't add the word footnote, but do put the footnote
text inside of square brackets.
We [Bookshare] ask that the information in the footnote be placed in
brackets if the number is either superscript or regular-sized font in the
text (to clarify that it is not part of the text).... I've been
recommending the method of leaving the number in the text (either in
regular font size or superscripted) and then placing the footnote in
brackets, as that is what both other in-house staff and outsourcers are
instructed to do.
Also, if anyone comes across a book that only has one or two footnotes and
the author has inserted asterisks (and no numbers), please put the footnote
information in square brackets. In this case, include an asterisk (after
the left bracket you add for the footnote text) but before the footnote
information (because there is no number), but no period after it (the
asterisk).
I hope that helps!
Judy s.

*And when the footnote text is below with a bunch of text that is
unrelated to the narrative text. Is it so that we should no longer put in
the word, “footnote” to announce that when the footnote begins?*
*Thanks for all.*
*It sure is an interesting book, I think. I wish I had read it in my
