Yes, table footnotes can appear beneath a table in Microsoft Word. By default, footnotes in a table are placed at the bottom of the page. However, you can change this setting to make the footnote appear beneath the table.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the table cell where you want to add the footnote.
2. Click on the "References" tab in the ribbon.
3. Click on the "Insert Footnote" button.
4. In the Footnote and Endnote dialog box, select "Footnote" and choose "Below the text" from the dropdown menu.
5. Click on the "Apply" button.

If you have already inserted the footnote and it's appearing at the bottom of the page, you can still change its position. Here's how:

1. Click on the footnote reference number in the table cell.
2. Right-click on the footnote reference number and select "Footnote Separator" from the context menu.
3. In the Footnote Separator dialog box, select "Below the text" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on the "OK" button.

Now, the footnote will appear beneath the table instead of at the bottom of the page.
