This should not be happening. Make sure that the Footnote Text style is not
formatted as "Keep with next" or "Keep lines together."

I have a pleading in Word 2003 where the footnotes are not spanning pages
properly and are overlaying important information in the footer. Is there
a
way for me to control how far down a footnote can go before it spans to
the
next page?
