Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 46910
start the foonote area relative to the last line of the page (instead of from the bottom-margin of the page)

I am having trouble with making a consistent space between the text area to the separator bar; and between the bar to the footnote area. I am employing a pagestyle for this. I have set the space from the bar to the footnote area as 0.24". I also set the space from the separatorbar to the text area as 0.24". I have no problem with the space between the separator bar and the footnote area. It is with the space with the separator bar and the text area. This usually occurs when the paragraph is split to prevent orphans. In ascii: | this is the last line that is broken so that orphans are prevented | | | | ( E M P T Y S P A C E ) | |_____________________________________________________________________| ___________________ _____________________________________________________________________ | | | 1. Brazier, 54. | | | | 2. Ibid. | |_____________________________________________________________________| Is it possible to make the separator line move up and take over that empty space from the Text Area? Again in ascii: | this is the last line that is broken so that orphans are prevented | |_____________________________________________________________________| ___________________ _____________________________________________________________________ | | | 1.

We will be using this in our Institution. I am promoting OpenOffice.org here to be used in our Academic Research Paper. THanks!

It seems like this could possibly be done by treating the footer as a frame with some special rules regarding anchors and alignment. By treating a header/footer as a special frame type, the flexibility and capabilities of headers/footers might be improved significantly.
