This section has only two pages in it. The first page of the section is the page we've been discussing, with the table on it. This page has two footnotes, and the footnote under discussion is the second of these.

The second and final page of the section has four footnotes, and together with the remainder of foonote #2 from the first page, the page is completely full. It cannot accept the second line of footnote #2 from page one of the section without overflowing onto a new page, which I want to avoide.

So what I had done earlier to solve this was to put the first two lines of the footnote on the first page of the section. Then, I created a footnote on the second page, and added the remainder of the footnote text from footnote #2 of page one, in this first footnote of page two (final page of the section. I then hid the call number as well as the footnote number, and typed "(Continued from previous page, footnote #2)". The problem is that due to the hidden footnote number, the four footnotes which really below to this page, start with number two. Hence my question about having two footnotes #1, followed by #2, 3, 4. etc. on that page. But perhaps if I make the four footnotes on this final page of the section into end notes, it may solve the problem by again number afresh from #1? Will these end notes otherwise have the same format as footnotes, i.e. look like footnotes to the general reader as this is already occurring on the final page of the section? If so, then this will also solve the problem.
