Well, I think the author will insist... So I would try a quirk, because the whole text seems to be a quirk anyhow: - Put the text of the extra long footnote aside - At the page place only an introductory part of this long footnote with a cross reference to the full text: 127)Hecate est Iovis et Latonae filia, soror Apollinis. Est tricopor et triceps, magicarum artium magistra ac fascinationum praeses, cinctra latrantium canum turma. (see complete footnote at page 312). - Place this awful footnote in an appendix, where you probably have other strange things also.

Re: Footnote problem--long footnotes
Hi Tina, Footnote problems like you are experiencing is a known issue at least since FrameMaker 4, possibly earlier. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hi all, I'm laying out a manuscript in Frame 8 that is packed full of detailed footnotes. This author is fond of them, and one footnote in particular spans multiple pages. Word can allow footnotes to span pages. So far, it appears that Frame's footnotes can't span pages. I can't get into the merits of writing in long footnotes (whole 'nother discussion), I'm stuck with them, and I didn't write them. When I get a footnote that is longer than one page, even moving the maximum height as high as possible (Format > Document > Footnote Properties > Maximum Height Per Column), Frame goes into Footnote Freefall. The extra-long footnote disappears, and all the other footnotes seem to lose their minds in the process. they go onto one page per footnote at the end of the document. Meaning they leave the bottoms of the pages throughout and go to the end, one footnote per page, thus adding about 15-20 extra pages to the end of my document, blank except for one footnote at the bottom of each. If I take out the now disappeared long footnote (by deleting the footnote reference in the text), all the other footnotes go back where they belong. Has anyone seen this? Any ideas about how to deal with long footnotes in Frame other than go back to the author and tell him to rewrite?

Footnote problem--long footnotes
Hi all, I'm laying out a manuscript in Frame 8 that is packed full of detailed footnotes. This author is fond of them, and one footnote in particular spans multiple pages. Word can allow footnotes to span pages. So far, it appears that Frame's footnotes can't span pages. I can't get into the merits of writing in long footnotes (whole 'nother discussion), I'm stuck with them, and I didn't write them. When I get a footnote that is longer than one page, even moving the maximum height as high as possible (Format > Document > Footnote Properties > Maximum Height Per Column), Frame goes into Footnote Freefall. The extra-long footnote disappears, and all the other footnotes seem to lose their minds in the process. they go onto one page per footnote at the end of the document. Meaning they leave the bottoms of the pages throughout and go to the end, one footnote per page, thus adding about 15-20 extra pages to the end of my document, blank except for one footnote at the bottom of each. If I take out the now disappeared long footnote (by deleting the footnote reference in the text), all the other footnotes go back where they belong. Has anyone seen this? Any ideas about how to deal with long footnotes in Frame other than go back to the author and tell him to rewrite?
