Colleagues,

I'm creating documents that include narrow tables with multiple table footnotes. FrameMaker constrains the width of the table footnote text to the width of the table. I would prefer that the table footnotes appear across the entire column.

For example, in a single-column document, I may have a 3" wide table with five table footnotes of a sentence or two each. All of the table footnote text is crammed into a 3" wide space.

I've tried the "obvious" things in the FrameMaker GUI -- changing the footnote right margin (FrameMaker doesn't allow this), changing pagination/column settings in the paragraph designer (no effect), even mapping the table footnotes to a different paragraph format. I've tried these actions in structured and unstructured documents.

Am I overlooking an obvious work-around? I could possibly re-implement table footnotes in FrameScript, but would prefer to do that only as a last resort.
