Word 2002 cannot handle putting a footnote in a table entry if the text has
abnormal orientation. I have a document where the left column is rotated
90-deg counter clockwise. When I tried to put a footnote in one of the
cells, it never showed the footnote (though it's there if you open the
footnote pane) and it stopped showing any footnotes below it. After several
hours of trying to figure out the problem I noticed that if I deleted only
that footnote, everything returned to normal.
