Slecting all footnotes on Pages

Does anyone know how to select ALL footnotes on a pages document please? I do not want to change font etc. I just want to select all of the footnotes at once. I could not find any information about this. Thank you.

Footnotes in tables in Pages Hello! Wanted to know if it was possible to add footnotes to tables in Pages. I know it's a feature in Word, so I was wondering why is it that I can't do it on pages. Thanks!

Editing footnotes in Pages How do I edit footnotes I have added to a Pages document? I found an unresolved thread dating back to 2014 on this, and the bizarre "workaround" suggested there of Arrange -Section Masters-Make Master objects selectable, does absolutely nothing. I am at a frustrated loss to understand why such a basic (and in my case) frequently needed piece of common editing is seemingly so far out of reach? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really like Apple and prefer to support the "home features", but Word ain't half looking attractive right now. Oh, and Happy New Year:-)

Inserting a footnote in a Pages document I want to insert a footnote in a pages document. I know you have to click "footnotes" at the top of the sidebar, and that the word "footnotes" isn't normally visible there, but what do you do to make it appear? I found a conversation that said you first have to have a footnote. But you can't have a footnote if you have been unable to enter one because of the absence of the "footnotes" button in the sidebar. Seems like a catch 22 situation to me. Can anyone help please? I'm sure there's a simple way through this but I can't see it.

Neither Pages, nor AppleScript will allow you to select all footnotes in a Pages document. If you want to export it to Word .docx, then I have a Python script that will list every footnote in order with its text.
