Columns and Footnotes
Hi, I have a question about columns and footnotes. I have a one page
document that starts out as one column, then has a continuous section break, then has two columns, has another continuous section break, then goes back to just one column again. This is all fine, until I add footnotes. I have footnotes in each section, and Word just doesn't seem to like that. Each section ends up on its own page. I've read some of the other suggestions and workarounds and they're very useful, but in this situation, I guess because there are footnotes in every section, they don't seem to work. Even setting the Compatibility options to "Lay out footnotes like Word 6.x/95/97" doesn't help. Am I missing something, or is this just a limitation of the program? The only other thing I can think of doing is using nested tables instead of the two column section. The problem is that where I work they don't like us using nested tables. Thanks in advance for any advice or information. |
