To apply different footnote styles in various sections of a document using Aspose.Words, you can utilize the FootnoteOptions and EndnoteOptions properties of the Document class. Here’s a general approach to achieve this:

  1. Create a Document: Start by creating or loading your document.

  2. Set Footnote Options: You can specify the footnote formatting options such as the number of columns and position for each section.

  3. Insert Footnotes: Use the DocumentBuilder to insert footnotes in the desired sections.

  4. Save the Document: Finally, save the document to apply the changes.

Here’s a code example demonstrating how to set different footnote styles for different sections:

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Notes;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Load the document
        Document doc = new Document("YourDocument.docx");

        // Set footnote options for the first section
        doc.FootnoteOptions.Columns = 2; // Two columns for footnotes
        doc.FootnoteOptions.Position = FootnotePosition.BeneathText; // Position beneath text

        // Insert a footnote in the first section
        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
        builder.MoveToDocumentStart();
        builder.Write("Text in the first section.");
        builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote, "Footnote for the first section.");

        // Move to the second section and set different footnote options
        doc.Sections[1].FootnoteOptions.Columns = 1; // One column for footnotes
        doc.Sections[1].FootnoteOptions.Position = FootnotePosition.EndOfSection; // Position at the end of section

        // Insert a footnote in the second section
        builder.MoveTo(doc.Sections[1].Body.FirstParagraph);
        builder.Write("Text in the second section.");
        builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote, "Footnote for the second section.");

        // Save the document
        doc.Save("UpdatedDocument.docx");
    }
}

In this example, the first section has footnotes formatted with two columns and positioned beneath the text, while the second section has footnotes formatted with one column and positioned at the end of the section. You can adjust the properties as needed for your specific requirements.

For more detailed examples and options, you can refer to the official Aspose documentation or the provided code examples on working with footnotes and endnotes [1].

Section has no footnoteoptions property

@Crane It it is required to set footnote options to whole document, you can use Document.FootnoteOptions property. If it is required to set footnote options for a particular section, you can use Section.PageSetup.FootnoteOptions property.
