Once I save a footnote it does not allow me to re-edit it. If I press on a footnote box it doesn't allow me to select any words not to mention make any changes. I apologize if it's a silly question, but I just bought a new Air and it's my first time working with a program other than Microsoft Word, so I'm really new to all this Pages thing...

Thank you!
I just tried that, but it didn't work 😟
It does for me.
I see. well still, thank you for your help!
This worked, thank you. Unfortunately, it worked after finding this page, which took about half an hour of searching, and being re-introduced, over and over, to the idea of creating footnotes.
Editing footnotes is mandatory. It's so easy to do in Word--you don't even have to think about it, you just click and make your changes. I had expected Pages to be equally simple, if not more so, and I was pretty annoyed to discover that it took an arcane trick to perform a very simple, very necessary task.
What sort of illiterate clown decided that end users shouldn't be able to click on their own footnotes to edit them? I hope this function will be upgraded, and that Apple will stop trying to complexity their products by burying turn-ons to the most basic academic functions in a word-processing program inside layers of menus.
How do I edit footnotes in Pages?
