I have a very long footnote that starts in a page and Pages automatically makes it to the subsequent page, occupying half the following page and only a bit of the page where it starts. Also, it leaves a big page break.
Is there any way to force the footnote to span across the first page occupying the empty space?
This is how it looks like now:

No, I don't think so. Why do you have so much text in a footnote? I thought it was supposed to be for notes and not long texts. Can't you have the information in the main text?
I have exactly the same problem and would really like to here from Apple if a solution is on the way. Or any way to handle this.
(@fruhulda - Some subjects, like mine theology and philosophy tend to have long footnotes at times since a parallell discussion, that is not relevant to the main argument, might be justified.)
Really looking for a way to get around this. Any help is much appreciated.
Footnote as defined by the Macquarie Dictionary:
1. a note or comment at the foot of a page, referring to a specific part of the text on the page.
2. an added comment, of less importance than the main text.
Appendix as defined by the Macquarie Dictionary:
Matter which supplements the main text of a book, generally explanatory, statistical, or bibliographic material.
The relevant part of the word foonote is 'foot' i.e. at the bottom or end of a page. Any note or comment that extends over several pages is not a footnote; it belongs in an appendix.
The choice is a matter of style. You must decide whether your readers will really be interested in long parallel-discussions, or whether their interest can be held by weaving the threads into the main story.
