Hello, Charles.
Thanks for the reply.
I may not understand what you propose (I realize that I probably wasn't
too clear in my original message, either: I'm not putting a footnote IN the
table (nor in a figure caption, etc.), but just somewhere else on the page
so that both it and the table end up on the same page after LaTeX does its
magic. Maybe that's not what you inferred, but I realize that my original
message might have implied that. I've seen some messages recently where
people have tried this, and have had some bad results.
So, what I've just tried is the following:
*Insert a minipage into my LyX document. In this, insert the floating table.
*Leave the footnote where it is ( a different part of the text, not in the
table contruct, nor in its caption).
Is this what you mean? I think your message might have been meant for a
table with some sort of footnote inside it (which isn't what I have). If I
do the table-in-a-minipage thing, LaTeX complains with an error message like
"LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode," and "Undefined control sequence," and
"Missing number, treated as zero." As is almost always the case, I can't
make much of the errors, especially when such a minor change has been made
(moving the float to within a minipage).
I'll rephrase my original question just for clarity's sake: Is it
possible to have a table float to the bottom of the page, but still be on
top of any footnotes (which have nothing to do with the table)?
Also, if I should post this into a TeX group, please tell me. This
doesn't seem to be a LyX-specific problem.
Best wishes, all,
Curtis O.

Footnotes do not mix well with tables in LaTeX. One solution would be to
insert your table in a minipage. Footnotes would be inserted just below the
float but not with other footnotes at the bottom of the page.
Try it.
Cheers,
Charles
