Help formatting footnotes

[Jirka]

Hello,

could somebody please help me to get the following formatting for
footnotes (as required by the publisher):

1. The footnote number at the bottom of the page should be a plain
number, not a superscript. (Obviously the same number in the text
above should be a superscript).

2. The footnote text should start at a fixed place relative to the
left margin (equivalent to inserting a tab in MS Word). Thus the space
following the number 10 should be smaller than the space following 9
so that the text starts at the same place.

3. The footnote font size should be a particular size (whatever the MS
Word size is).

I am using book.cls if it is relevant.

Thanks a lot
Jirka

if you're willing to switch to the memoir class, this is pretty easy
to do. or you could use the footmisc package which also allows you to
'hang' footnotes; i think you can simply do \usepackage[hang]
{footmisc} to get this behaviour. (modifying how big the 'hang' is is
pretty trivial and explained in the manual.) with memoir, though, i
do the following:

\setlength{\footmarkwidth}{1.5em} % if your footnotes go into the
hundreds, you need at least 1.7em
\setlength{\footmarksep}{0em}
\footmarkstyle{#1.\hfill} % this will give you plain numbers for your
notes

every size is a particular size. i think the default Word size is 10,
but i don't remember. latex scales the footnote size relative to the
regular font size. in memoir, if your document fontsize is 12pt, then
the footnotesize is 10pt, but you can change that if you want.

cheers,
jon.

Sorry for such a late thank you. It works great. It took me some time
to get the other packages to work with memoir (upgrading to the latest
version of miktex helped), but it was worth it.
