For unexplained reasons, Word keeps breaking footnotes in bizarre places.

For
example, a two-line footnote breaks across pages, even though the footnote
marker is mid-way up the page and there's no reason why the last line of
regular text on the page can't just go on the next page. Also, one

footnote
appears cut in half -- vertically, as though the text just didn't quite

fit
in the space. How can footnote formatting be adjusted? WordPerfect makes

it
so easy...
