paragraph spacing in styles
- Oct 08, 2021Great! Thanks so much. Now can you tell me how to auto insert a space after the footnote number?
Yes, you can add some Spacing Before (or Spacing After) to the Footnote Text style.
If you are running Word for Windows, you can make use of the Apply Styles pane. Display the pane by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S, type in Footnote Text and click Modify. To access paragraph settings, click Format and then click Paragraph.

Word adds a space character after the footnote number in the footnote area. Perhaps you are referring to something else, such as a tab or even a hanging indent?
- scottinalpinegmailOct 14, 2021Copper ContributorOh, I should have said endnote number in the endnote area.

You can reformat the Endnote Text style, if you wish.
Note that if you are indeed trying to create a hanging indent, some manual "intervention" will be required, unfortunately. Word does not add the tab character following the endnote number automatically. Instead, the program adds a space character (as it does for footnotes).
