Use continuously repeated text as footnote/endnote separator?
Hi everybody. Is there any function in Word to help me change the footnote/endnote separator into a repeated piece of text spanning from left margin to the right margin (as shown in the photo)? The t...
It is possible to insert text or graphics as the footnote (and/or endnote) separator, but this will be static content that can't be updated.
Consider using headers or footers instead. You can add a STYLEREF field there and have it reference current content in a particular style from the body of the text, if that helps.
Thank you. The problem is from an exam, they provide only the final sample file, without further instructions. They require to modify the footnote separator to a repeated piece of text, and I doubt whether there is a function in Word to do that automatically instead of manually, because the text is trimmed exactly corresponding to the margin.
So if you said that this wouldn't update when the page margin changes, what about a button/field that let me type in a word/phrase (as the footnote line separator) and automatically repeats it until exactly the end of the margin (without necessarily updates when the margin changes)?
