The first line of my footnotes is indented. Using \noindent
doesn't help. How do I get it unindented?
You have to change the indentation for the Footnote Text paragraph style. To do that, you can display the Apply Styles pane by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S, type in Footnote Text and then click the Modify button. You'll find the settings for indentation by clicking the Format drop down and then choosing the Paragraph option.
LaTeX will automatically indent the first line of each paragraph that doesn't immediately follow a section heading. If you'd like to get rid of an indent, you can use the \noindent command: \section{Introduction} This is the first paragraph. \noindent This is the second paragraph.
Paragraph indentation The \parindent command controls the indentation of paragraphs. To change the indentation document-wide, set \parindent in the document preamble to the desired value. To disable the indentation for a single paragraph, use \noindent at the beginning of the paragraph.
You can change the numbering style for the footnotes in LaTeX you are using. You can do this using the command \renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\roman{footnote}} where roman can be swapped out with other footnote types.
Use footmisc package
\usepackage[hang,flushmargin]{footmisc}
The 'hang' option flushes the footnote marker to the left margin of the page, while the 'flushmargin' option flushes the text as well. The documentation displays some other options that you could fiddle with to obtain the results you require.
