I have run into this many places. For instance, XSL-FO can't do it, Adobe Frame Maker can't do it, QuarkXpress can't do it. LaTeX has a package that allows you to do it, but you have to run through 100 passes to get everything to come out correctly.> 2) Footnote 2 > 3) Footnote 3> > Most of the footnotes are very small, such as 1) Or your 2) Other mss > read "over the hill", etc...

Can anyone tell me why it's such a big deal? I don't quite understand it. Is their a different way to handle these footnotes? For instance, maybe margin notes or something? (although that would take up quite a bit of extra room across 1000 pages)
Thanks, Jeremy
