There seems to be a problem when using a footnote for a hot spot. When
a footnote has more than one paragraph the last paragraph is not left
justified. It seems to begin the paragraph about three spaces to the
left of where it should appear. I've checked through a few files and
the problem seems to be consistent.

What version of the online bookbuilding tools are you using, and could
you send me one of your footnotes as an example?
Thanks,
Mary

As it happens, I just built a book for both online and .PS output
(SOFTWARE.REFERENCE) that has a footnote with two paragraphs in it.
Sure enough, the 2nd paragraph is indented -- in *both* output formats,
consistently. This appears to be a feature, not a bug.
My guess is that the paragraph indention occurs in hardcopy footnotes
to conserve space. (Rather than leaving a blank line between paras,
simply indent.) Space is not at such a premium online, so we could
change this formatting for the Bookreader, but it's now too late for
V2.0. Perhaps in a future version...
Thanks,
Mary
