Footnote Location
I have a document with 20 footnotes in it, all set up to appear at the
bottom of the page (just above a footer). 19 of them appear on the page correctly, but I have one footnote that prints a number of lines above the footer. I've looked at the non-printing characters and there's no extra spaces in the footnote area. The footnote itself is attached to a column header in a table, which is the last thing on the page before a page break. Any suggestions on how to put this one footer where it belongs???? I've tried deleting and readding it, but it is added in the same way every time. |

Footnote Location
Is the page tight? That is, is the last footnote reference on the page very
close to the bottom of the page? Sometimes in such situations Word can get confused. Also, is there a table involved? That adds further complexity. I'm currently working on a document with a lot of footnotes, some of them quite lengthy, and I'm seeing some really strange behavior in some cases that can be worked around in some strange ways. -- Suzanne S.

Footnote Location
Suzanne,
If the footnote were printing in the correct location, there would be about 1 to 1.5 inches of space between the bottom of the page content and the 2-line footnote. The last item on the page is a table and with the footnote acting the way it is, the last 2 rows of the table are being forced to the next page, which they shouldn't be, and the table is long enough that I really can't put the page break before it or I'll end up with more than 1/2 the page blank! Any suggestions would be much appreciate. This is a template for a group of documents we'll be creating, so if I can't get it fixed here, it will show up more often than I would like it to.

Footnote Location
As I said, I've seen some strange results when there are footnotes in
tables, but these result from having very deep rows (which stretch over more than one page). Because Word defers the footnote in a given row to the page where the row ends, if a row extends over a page break and contains many footnotes, a situation sometimes results where the number of accumulated footnotes won't fit on the page where the row ends, and so they just disappear. The solution is to break the row into multiple rows (usually easy to do, since it often contains several paragraphs). That doesn't sound like your situation at all. I'd be interested in looking at the document if you can send it (or the misbehaving portion of it) to me. Obfuscate proprietary information if you feel the need, but be assured I never pay any attention to the content of documents received, anyway, and I'm a free lance unconnected with any business, so I have no interest in the content. -- Suzanne S.
