Default What about footnotes?

Did Microsoft ever fix the bug in Word that causes footnotes to appear
at the bottom of a page different from the page on which the numbered
reference appears?

Default What about footnotes?

Supposedly, but in come cases Word can still get confused, as I can attest.
I've been working with a 600+ document with 500 footnotes, some of them
quite long, and I did have to tweak some of the page breaks to make things
come out right. Not having started out with Exact line spacing (the document
evolved into something a lot more elaborate than I'd originally planned), I
found it too daunting to go back and change all my styles, so I didn't try
that fix, and I found that the Compatibility Option had no effect at all
(for what I'm talking about, see

In Word 2007, click the References tab, and then click Insert Footnote. To
set footnote options, you can right-click a footnote, and choose Note
Options from the context menu.

And in previous versions, it's Insert | Reference | Footnote. Once you've
made your selections with regard to where the footnotes will appear and how
they will be numbered, you can use Ctrl+Alt+F to insert a new footnote.
