Separate footnotes from the main text block.

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to change the location of the footnotes. Let me explain: I have a main text block that will be punctuated with footnotes. However, I would like those to be placed not at the bottom of this block, but in another block located elsewhere on the page.

Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, you will have to do it manually.

    First, if applicable, you need to put the footnotes at the end of your Word document.

    Once the text is imported into InDesign, all your notes will also be at the end of your document, and you can place them wherever you want.

    Tip: to avoid navigating between the first page and the last page to find your notes, create another document where you import your text in bulk, position yourself on the notes, and copy and paste them onto the layout you are working on.
