Word cannot do these things, maybe something else?

[RRB]

Dear friends,



It could possibly be that this is not the appropriate form to assess question but I will try anyway.

There are or three major features that I was waiting for word to implement for many years:

1. Allowing footnotes in one column to two column text.

2. A way of creating footnotes to footnotes.

3. A way of creating in-line footnotes:
NOT:
1. ewewew
2. fdfdfdfd
3. fddfdfd

BUT RATHER:
1.dsdsdsds 2.asasasas. 3.asasasasa

Number one has indeed been implemented. However regarding two and three there is still no elegant way to handle this. If Microsoft Word cannot elegantly handle this does anybody have an alternative idea? I mean even superpowered programs like Adobe in design which I know how to use does not have a automated way to handle these two aspects.

Thank you all very much.
Susan
