Page numbering has nothing to do with footnote numbering. You have to set
the footnote numbering to be continuous, not "Restart each section" or
"Restart each page." You do this through Insert | Reference | Footnote:
Numbering. But note that if the document was imported from WordPerfect, you
may have additional problems.

still no luck.....any other suggestions??
