Hello,

Does anyone know if the newest version of SwordSearcher has a way of creating or editing footnotes in Design Mode?

There is an Insert menu in the Editor that will allow you to link to a reference in the current module. You could make your footnotes and link them that way.
 
Thanks much. I tried it but I cannot get it to work like a footnote by taking directly to the footnote reference or take me exactly to the point where the reference is located.

Ok, here is how to do it - I know it's not in design mode, but it's in code mode which is pretty close. If you use the Insert menu to insert the link, it will do some of the typing for you. In the top part of the attached screenshot, you see how to mark the footnotes on the left, with the saved entry showing on the right. In the bottom part of the attached screenshot, you see how to mark the link on the left and what it looks like on the right. It will take you to the named spot on the page with the footnote. You can use the font menu to create a smaller size, superscript, etc. I hope this works for you.

I should have pointed out that the code you're interested in is: <a href="swordsearcher://book/Footnotes#1"> and </a> for the link to the footnote or reference, and <a name="1"> and </a> for the actual reference. Just put the text to be linked between the <a href...> and </a> or between the <a name...> and </a>.

Footnotes is the name of the entry in my module where the reference is. Yours could be different.
 
Here's a shot of linking to references in two different entries. Again, the part you're interested in is <a href="swordsearcher://book/Another Entry#2"> and </a>.

I much appreciate your efforts in trying to help me on this. I'll try it again tomorrow - I'm pretty tired and think I will just hit the hay for today. MGB - I appreciate it much.
 
Ha. I couldn't get away from it. :)

Anyway, I figured out another way to do this, even in a user commentary. I went to the insert command that you suggested and told it to link to a commentary search and instead of telling it to link to a bible verse, I told it to link to the same commentary and then in the SEARCH EXPRESSION, I put the footnote and for the ANCHOR TEXT, I put a number such as [3] - then when I mouse over it I see the footnote. To me that is a lot easier and as long as you hold the mouse over the ANCHOR TEXT it shows the footnote.

That saves the clicking back and forth to see the footnote too - I do wish it would work if you clicked it also though. :)

Thanks - I appreciate it.
