Footnotes not on same page as footnote markers in a multi-page tab
The whole document is a table, and several of the rows are more than one page
long. The footnotes (automatically generated, at bottom of page) sometimes print on the page before the page that has the footnote marker. When I've come across this problem before, I broke the long table rows into several rows, but this doc is still being edited, inserts made, etc., and the divided rows could make editing tricky. Is there some other way to fix this? |

Footnotes not on same page as footnote markers in a multi-page tab
There are two factors he
1. Ordinary footnotes in a table appear at the foot of the page on which the row in which they are contained *ends.* This can be a problem with rows that break over pages. I have seen documents with rows that go on for several pages and accumulate so many footnotes that they cannot be accommodated on the last page, and so they just disappear entirely. 2. Table footnotes are supposed to be at the end of the table, not at the foot of the page. Consequently, you should not use ordinary (automatic) footnotes but instead manually insert footnote reference markers (usually superscript letters in tables consisting primarily of numbers, and the *, ?, ? series for text tables) in the table and then manually insert the notes at the end of the table. Many users choose to add a (merged, borderless) row at the end of the table to hold the notes. -- Suzanne S.
