It's been awhile since we had this complaint! Sorry, Jacob, assuming 
the problem is that the note requires more space than there is 
between its number in the text and the bottom of the page (so 
fiddling with Footnote Properties won't help), your only options are: 
rewrite the note in fewer and/or shorter words and see if it jumps 
back to the right page, and/or move the number in the text higher up 
the page, if this would make sense (probably doesn't), and/or try a 
tiny adjustment in line spacing. If no combination of these works, 
make the note break across the page using anchored frames and text 
frames. This last procedure takes a bit of describing so I'll send it 
to you (and anyone else who asks) off-list.

The error in notehandling you've come across was programmed in from 
the start, with the result that Frame's never had the penetration in 
academic and legal markets that it otherwise deserves.

footnote trouble

2008-07-21 Thread Jakob Fix
Hi,

This may be an easy one for you, but I have no idea and a deadline ...

We have some footnotes in a structured FrameMaker document (7.2) where
the call of the footnote is on one page, but the footnote itself finds
itself on the next page.  Usually, this is the case when the footnote
call is on the last line of the page.  This is annoying, of course.
Is there a way how I can force call and footnote to be on the same
page?

thanks a lot in advance.

cheers,
Jakob.
