Creating footnotes in linked tables

Introduction

Use this article to add footnotes to a linked table. You make the footnotes in Excel with the Notes (not Comments!) property of the cells. Tangelo then shows the footnotes after you sync the document.

Summary

This article tells you how to make a footnote in Excel with the Notes property. It also gives the rules for shared footnotes and for more than one footnote on a cell.

Add a footnote

Use the Notes property of the cells in Excel with the setup below.

Upload the Excel file and sync the document in Tangelo. Tangelo then makes the footnote and shows it.

Rules for footnotes

• Use Excel notes, not Excel comments
  Enter the footnote text in an Excel note (the yellow area), not in an Excel comment. For the difference between the two, see this Microsoft article.
• You can use the same footnote text for more than one cell. This makes one footnote with more than one reference. Make sure that each note text is the same.

• If you want more than one footnote on the same table cell, use the fn: prefix to separate the footnote texts.
