Dear John, dear Andre, I'm writing my PhD Thesis using Lyx. Sometimes I would like to read quickly throung the last paragraphs. On the other hand I have to fill in footnotes all the time. So closing all the footnotes manually just to get a better view of the text is a bit complicated.
I believe that the result of your discussion - a view of all the footnotes open - would be an ideal solution for my problem. Thanks, Markus Am Freitag, 28.
