Setting Default Footnote Font

I am a graduate student, and most of the papers I do are supposed to be in Courier New 12pt with 10pt for the footnotes. I have setup a template for this and I have figured out how to do everything except change the default footnote font. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

The footnote appearance is governed by a Style in the Style drawer named Footnote Text.

Create a footnote and enter some text.
Select the text and change it to Courier New 12 pt. Make any other formatting changes you need.
With the text selected, right-click or ctrl-click on the style "Footnote Text" in the Style Drawer. (That should be the style highlighted in the drawer.)
Click on "Redefine Style from Selection".
Save your template again.

Good luck,

Terry
