Different top margins/footnotes
Greetings!
This is my first post in a couple of years, so please bear with me. I recently assisted someone with a doctoral dissertation. 1. The document had seven chapters. 2. The first page of each chapter had a 2" top margin; all subsequent pages had 1" top margins. 3. Each chapter has footnotes. Footnote numbering restarts from 1 for each chapter. I set the first page of the chapter with a 2" top margin. At the bottom of this first page, I put in a continuous page break. At the top of the second page, I set a new 1" top margin. HOWEVER, this caused footnote numbering to restart on the second page of each chapter. If there were two footnotes on page 1 of the chapter, they were numbered 1 and 2. If there were two more footnotes on page 2 of the chapter, they were numbered 1 and 2 instead of the desired 3 and 4. Does anyone have a better solution to this dilemma? Thank you. |

Don't use a section break for that: usually, you setup the section for each chapter as "Different first page". Then you can do whatever you like with the header on the first page (often: just leave it empty). But in this special case, I would not even bother with that, and simply use a large enough "space before" in the heading style which starts each chapter.
