           Summary: Allow for restarting footnote numbering
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.3.1 release
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: doubiman at gmail.com


It's a common occurrence to see footnote numbers restart back at 1 after
reaching 99. LibreOffice doesn't currently allow this feature.

One way to implement it would be an option to "Restart Numbering" for footnotes
as one can do with numbered lists. This would probably be presented as a button
to click on the "Insert Footnote/Endnote" dialogue.

Another implementation would be to have an "End at" in addition to the "Start
at" option in the Tools > Footnotes/Endnotes dialogue.

Since hypothetically someone might not want to always restart after reaching
the same number, the former option is probably more flexible (in all likelihood
someone should be using Chapters for this, but I'm sure there are situations I
can't think of where that wouldn't do).
