Change Default Footnote Font Word For Mac

  • Dec 15, 2018 I've got the latest version of Word for Mac (16.20), Zotero, and the Zotero Word plugin. When I add a footnote citation with the Zotero add-in the footnote is put in the default Word font of Calibri. However, when I change the 'normal' style or the 'footnote text' style to a different font using 'styles', the footnote remains in the default.
  • Change all notes: Click one note. Blue boxes appear around all the notes in the document. Change one note: Select just the text in the note you want to change. In the Format sidebar, click the Text tab, then click the Style button. Use the controls in the Font section to change how the text looks.

If you want your footnotes to appear in a different font or size from the rest of the document, change the font or size for the Footnote Text style. The initial setting for footnote references is Default Character Format + Superscript. Change the default font. Changing the default font in any template means that the font is used in every new document that is based on that template. For example, the default font for new blank documents is based on the Normal template. Open the template or a document based on the template whose default settings you want to change.

By default your Footnote text is the same Style as your Normal style but with a smaller font size, usually 10pt. You can change the Footnote text to a different Font and/or size using its own Style (called Footnote Text), so it's just a matter of locating and modifying the style.
