footnotePr (Section-Wide Footnote Properties)

This element specifies the footnote properties for the current section. Each of these properties are an override of the document-wide footnote properties (§2.11.11) and are stored as a child element within the footnotePr element.

If this element is omitted for a given section, then that section shall use the footnote properties defined at the document-wide level.

[Example: Consider a document consisting of three sections, which has footnotes in the first section which appear below text, and footnotes in the third section which appear at the bottom of the page. The WordprocessingML for each section would be specified as follows:

<w:sectPr>
<w:footnotePr>
<w:pos w:val="beneathText" />
</w:footnotePr>
</w:sectPr>

…
<w:sectPr>
…
</w:sectPr>

This assumes that the document-wide footnote settings are specified as the default positioning at the bottom of the page by omitting the pos element (§2.11.21), as follows:

<w:settings>
<w:footnotePr>
…
</w:footnotePr>
</w:settings>

The resulting document would override the footnote positioning for the first section to beneathText, but would use the pageBottom footnote positioning for section three (and would also use it for section two if that section had footnotes. end example]
