The document in which I am working is essentially a table with lots of text. I am not permitted to change the layout of the document (i.e., the table must remain with its specified sections).

I am documenting a process and I need to use several footnotes. I am having a problem with the footnote text associated with references showing up on different pages. Here is the issue:

Page 1: Footnote references 1 - 3; footnote text 1 - 3 (this one is ok)
Page 2: Footnote references 4 - 5; footnote text 4 - 8
Page 3: Footnote references 6 - 8; footnote text none.

Due to the amount of text, which spans multiple pages, I have the table formatted so the cells break across the pages.

Are there any tips, tricks or insights to help with my issue? Thanks much!

It looks like I'm going to need to insert footnote references manually versus automatically. The document was very informative. Thanks for passing along.

You don't have to do the footnotes manually, just because they are in a table, if you find it acceptable that the notes don't appear at the foot of the table.
