We have UNIX* System V DOCUMENTER'S WORKBENCH* Software 1.0 and I am curious about the location of the last line of a footnote when using the -mm macro package. The last line of text of a footnote is approximately 1/4 inch higher on the page than the last line of text on a page without a footnote. It seems to me that the last line of text on a page (without footnotes) and the last line of a footnote (on a page with text) should fall at the same location on the page. I have tried relocating the traps (in the macros for footnotes) only to make matters worse. Anyone else have (notice) this problem? Any solutions? The document in question is formatted with device-independent troff and -mm macros. The output devices used are an Imagen 8/300 and a Mergenthaler Linotron 202N. *UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories *DOCUMENTER'S WORKBENCH is a trademark od AT&T Technologies -- _____ Boyd Merworth The University of Texas at Austin, Computation Center, Austin, TX 78712 merworth@ut-ngp.ARPA {ihnp4,allegra,seismo}!ut-ngp!merworth
