Official History (and joint options) applications thread 2022 The Courtauld Institute of Art for BA History of Art 2022 Really? How about word counts that allow 10% leeway.

I think some people are missing the point that word counts are not there for you to have an idea of the amount of words required, they are there purely to set a maximum

it would be more advantageous to have footnotes excluded, as it gives you more space to put your points across, the underlying theory behind word counts is that you should be able to make your arguments and information concise and targeted rather than just having pages and pages of irrelevant commentary and facts. I think some people are missing the point that word counts are not there for you to have an idea of the amount of words required, they are there purely to set a maximum. When I reach the limit for the footnote on the current page, all the text I type afterwards seems to simply go "underneath" the bottom of the page, into some invisible "void".At UEA Law School we are told to include the footnotes, but not bibliography, the justification for doing so it would seem is that a bibliography is purely about citations, whereas footnotes can be and are used to provide commentary and expansion to the main text, thus if they weren't included people could include a considerable amount more for the same word count. I simply see no way to span a footnote across more than one page in my Pages document. Here are some other examples of essentially what I want to do:

However, I'm not even sure how to create a continuation notice for the footnote like you can do in Microsoft Word. What I want to do is essentially similar to this: I essentially want the footnote to continue in the footnote margin on the next page, or possibly take up a whole page itself (it's a very large footnote). I have a footnote in a Pages document that I want to span across multiple pages. (TLDR: Basically I just want to figure out how to make a footnote carry over / spill over to the next page in Pages.app.
