thank you it was very helpful i just want to know if there is an easier way
to do it because my whole document is of two columns and it is a pain to have
to do the whole procedure every page (the link you gave me talks about one
2-columned section in a document of 1-columned text
my document is ONLY 2 columns so it is a pain to play around at the end of
every page with section breaks so if you have any solution it would be
greatly appreceiated or do you know any program that is easier to work with
columns an footnotes
