Text Formatting ⇒ Footnote Spacing and Numbering on Title Page

[ychao]

Dear all,

I have two questions on footnote:

1. On Title Page, I want the footnote I inserted next to the Author's name to be numbered from Arabic number 1, instead of an asterisk mark.
2. I set double spacing for my article using "setspace" package. But the footnotes remain single-spaced. And I'd like to have the footnotes to be double-spaced, too.

Can anyone help me solve the above 2 problems? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1. This depends on the document class you are using and on their settings. Please provide the class name and you preamble, so we would know this.
2. It's the intention of the setspace package to provide single spaced footnotes and single spaced captions of floats, such as figures and tables, while the document body text is, for example, double spaced. If you don't like that, you don't need to load the setspace package. Instead, you could redefine \baselinestretch yourself, for example:
   

   Code: Select all

   \makeatletter
   \renewcommand*{\baselinestretch}{1.667}
   \@currsize
   \makeatother
