Hedley's suggestions for improving Frame's footnote handling are all
very good ones, but the chances of them being implemented are nil, I
think. Some of us have been complaining about FM's note handling for,
oh, 14 years, and I have quite a collection of nice messages spanning
that period from Frame Tech and Adobe, to the effect that yes, this
is a popular request, and will certainly be considered.
It's been explained to me that getting footnotes to break properly
across pages would be such a massive project involving such huge
amounts of code re-writing that the entire population of India would
need to get degrees in computer science. We are in the same ballpark
as putting a man or woman on Mars, or curing the common cold, or
building a working fusion reactor, or getting FM to run natively in
OSX.
For documents with relatively few footnotes, there's a manual
workaround involving anchored frames and trial-and-error cutting and
pasting. I have written up a description of it -- ask and ye shall be
given. But Rob said
My latest document is 5,000 pages long [...]
Ohmigod!
