There seems to be a bug with the way footnotes are handled inside of a tabular environment in LaTeX. They don't work. I noticed that a footnote inside a tabular environment does not produce a footnote at the bottom of the page, but produces a footnote tag. Repeat By: User the following file and print it out on the laser printer. \documentstyle{report} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{l} topmargin\footnote{the size of the page header({\tt$\backslash$headheight}) and the header separation ({\tt$\backslash$headsep}) are also set to 0 to produce a top margin that is really 1 inch }\\ \end{tabular} \end{document} There is a superscript over the word "topmargin", but there is no corresponding footnote at the bottom of the page. I am sure that other people have seen this bug before. Is there a fix for this bug?. I am not very knowledgeable about LaTeX and TeX, so I am not even sure if this is a LaTeX bug or a TeX bug. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Sundar
