I have a document that has many footnotes, each of which is at least one paragraph in length. After looking at how Word decides where to start the footnotes at the bottom of the page, I'm completely stumped. Sometimes it starts nearly halfway up the page and can fit all the footnotes without any problems. Sometimes, however, it starts lower down on the page and carries over the last part of the last footnote onto the top of the footnote section on the next page. Is there anyway to tell Word to _always_ include the entire footnote on the page where the reference mark is? Or, is there a way to determine when it will break up a footnote onto more than one page? Please respond via e-mail and I'll summarize for the net. Thanks, Kevin Bolduan KSBOLDUAN@AMHERST

I have had the opposite problem: I WANT Word to break my footnotes, when they are lengthy (more than x inches of text) but it won't do so. Is there a way to specify the maximum amount of footnote text on a page? Annice

Thanks to george@mech.seas.upenn.edu for the solution: In the footnote text style, just be sure that _BOTH_ Keep Lines Together and Keep With Next P are checked in the Paragraph dialog box. This will keep all your footnotes on the page where the reference is. -Kevin Bolduan KSBOLDUAN@AMHERST

Recently, two people have written about Word breaking (or not breaking) footnotes at the bottom of a page. I suggest they check the options chosen in the "Format a Section" areaof the "format" menu. Look especially at conflicts with "store at end of text" where FNs are stored directly under the text, and "store at bottom of page. I would also point out that footnotes can be dragged into positions other than the defaults while in the "Print preview" view. Hope this helps. -- _________________________________________________________ | IMAGISTICS Business Theatre Technology | Rick McCormack | | Interactive Effective Compelling | Vancouver, BC | |________________________________________|________________| | UseNet: Rick_McCormack@mindlink.uucp | A O-L: Rique | |_________________________________________________________| .
