Default Word 2003 - layout problem - footnotes

Hi, I am tearing my hair out!! On a single page I have a paragraph,
followed by a section break (continuous), followed by a list laid out in five
columns, followed by a section break (continuous), followed by a normal
paragraph. There is still lots of room at the bottom of the page. So far
so good - no problem.

As soon as I put in a footnote, everything from the 5-column list onwards
goes to the next page. There is plenty of room between the last paragraph
and where the footnote goes. I even tried re-ordering my paragraphs, but
whatever I do the page break is occurring at the begining of my list. I
have checked the obvious things like "Keep with next" and they are all off.
I sure hope you can help! Thanks.

Suzanne - thank you so much - you have no idea how many hours and how much
frustration went into that. I should have posted it to the Discussion Group
sooner. Keep up the great work!! Thanks.
