Now select Insert > Marks > Foot/End Note. So double-click at the point you wish to insert a footnote. Remember that you need to be Edit Contents mode to insert a footnote – you will find Insert > Marks greyed out if you're not. Here is a two-column layout of some sample text we'll use for our examples. Let's just quickly show what happens here, realizing that once you get an understanding of footnotes, your workflow may not necessarily begin here. You might just start at this point, by beginning to create footnotes, but it's still going to be important sooner or later to understand those other aspects of footnotes. Insert > Marks – this as you might expect is where the action is in actually inserting a footnote mark somewhere in the text.Item > Welding – for the moment, don't worry about what welding has to do with Scribus or footnotes.Edit > Notes Styles – here is where you will be applying your paragraph and character styles to create Notes Styles.Until you actually have some footnotes (one kind of Mark), you won't see anything to do here. Edit > Marks – this brings up the Marks Manager dialog.


You will not find any method in Story Editor. This isn't just a recommendation, it's currently the only way to create footnotes.
