Can anyone tell me how to keep footnotes in a long document at the bottom of
the same page where they are referenced? Often, the footnote text will either start on the bottom of the page and continue on to the next, or worse, won't even appear until the bottom of some other page. I use Word 2007, but have encountered this issue in most of the prior versions as well. Thank you. |

It's my experience that footnote problems usually occur whenever the version
of Word that the document was saved in differs from the version of Word on your hard drive. So, my first suggestion is that you make sure that the version of Word in the document is the same as the version of Word on your hard drive. Click on the "pizza button" (MS Office button), Word Options, Advanced tab, and scroll down to the bottom of the Word Options window. Under the heading "Compatibility options," click on the dropdown arrow next to the heading "Lay out this document as if created in:" and change the version of Word in that window to whatever version of Word is on your hard drive, or whatever version of Word you're working in (e.g., we use Word 2007 in our office but we save everything to be compatible with Word 2000). Then click OK. Nine times out of 10, this will _automatically_ fix any and all problems you're having with footnotes (and headers and footers, too). If that doesn't fix it, my second suggestion is that you modify the Footnote Text style to include the "Keep Lines Together" (Paragraph formatting/Line and Page Breaks). Adding "Keep Lines Together" to your Footnote Text style will make sure the text of the footnote stays on one page, not to mention that it appears on the page where your Footnote Reference is located. -- Cyndie Browning Software Support Specialist GableGotwals Tulsa, OK "Microsoft Newsgroups" wrote: Can anyone tell me how to keep footnotes in a long document at the bottom of the same page where they are referenced?
