footnote and text problems

Hi Fruhulda,

Thanks for your superfast reply! It also creates a new problem 😟. Yes, the document has 240 pages and over 400 footnotes, and indeed a lot of formatting. I did try to port the whole shebang over in a new document (and yes, when you copy the text it will also grab the footnotes - in itself a miracle!), but alas! the same problem came back with it: I can't get to my footnotes or the lowest 11 lines in the document itself. Weird, isn't it?

For now I'm trying to set up a document with just a single chapter. After all, with Adobe's Acrobat I can stitch the whole lot together in an PDF if needed. It's a hassle, but if it solves the problem....😉 I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, thanks for your suggestion.

Yep, I know. But Acrobat Pro gives me a bit more control. Anyhow, I've tried the one-chapter-at-the-time approach, using a chapter with which I had considerable trouble with the footnotes and/or bottom text, and you know what? It worked! It's a roundabout, but it works and that's the main point.

Still, I think it's a bit worrying why Pages wouldn't go the whole nine yards. After all, the ability to work with footnotes is really a great asset, especially for footnote maniacs like me ;-) The ease with which notes can be numbered, deleted, copied elsewhere etc. is absolute great - comparing with the rather cumbersome way in which Xpress and inDesign extensions use the Sonar Bookend Footnotes.

Well, we have to do with what we're getting.... ;-)

Hi Yellowbox,

See above ;-)

Thanks anyway!
