Word XP. I'm working on court decisions. There can be three-four sections per document. I use continuous breaks to separate them. The footnoting must restart for each section. But the sections should not start a new page. I have set options to Layout Footnotes Like Word 97. It doesn't work all the time. The problem is when a section breaks in the middle of a page. The first section has a footnote, say #7. The new section has a footnote #1. Word refuses to allow FN7 and FN1 to be on the same page. So it forces the new section to a new page. Court opinions aren't supposed to look like that. No new page for a new dissent or concurrence. Is there a workaround for this?

The only workaround I know of is at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FtnoteSpanColumns.htm. -- Suzanne S.
