Hi Paul

Thanks for the prompt response. Among the two solutions you provided, the second works in that I can include a table and then rotate it. But I already have a table completed. I want to incorporate that one. So not sure yet whether I can copy and paste or do another from scratch in the final document.

As far as your first solution is concerned, I can go to note options and start at a number but what it will do is put in continuous and add the number. So for example, in chapter 4, I want to start the footnotes from 1. That is fine- just head to note options and restart each section. Then when I include the table in landscape, while this is fine, the footnotes will pick up in continuous for the whole document - so all three chapters before.

So, if the footnote in continuous is 600 and I use note options and say start at 11 which is want because the previous footnote is 10, what the system will do is start it at 610. SO it will not add it to the number of the chapter I am working but all the footnotes.

Any idea what I can do from here. Someone out there must have been able to include a table/diagram in landscape and make sure the footnotes continue from that specific chapter's footnotes and not the whole PhD thesis footnotes.

But thanks for the response and your time. I have actually learnt a bit more about what you can do in word when you switch off compatibility mode.

I am hoping with your knowledge you might have an idea for how to sort out this diagram in landscape mode without any changes to footnotes. If not thanks anyways
