17.11.12 footnotePr

This element specifies the footnote properties for this document. Each property is stored as a unique element within the footnotePr element.

These properties can be overridden for a specific section via the section-wide footnotePr element (17.11.11).

[Example: Consider the following one page document, where the footnote appears beneath the text it references:

Since the document consists of a single footnote, the footnote properties can be stored in either the section- wide or document-wide footnote properties. Assuming that they are stored in the latter, the footnote properties are represented by the following WordprocessingML:

<w:settings>
  …
  <w:footnotePr>
    <w:pos w:val="beneathText" />
  </w:footnotePr>
  …
</w:settings>

The footnote properties specify that footnotes appear below the noted text end example]
