Footnotes

Guest

I had a question from a University professor which stumped me. He arranged a
document with footnotes appearing at the bottom of the page that correspond
to footnotes cited on that given page. There is a line separating academic
text from footnotes (fn). Two citations on one page did not print on the same
page...one year, "1998", carried over to the bottom of the next page.
Obvioulsy he wanted the whole citation on one page. Normally, he said the fn
would take dominance, pushing text to the next page automatically in
deference to making sure the entire citation stayed together. (This
particular citation was 3 lines, with this one publication year, carrying
over). Other footnotes appear at different margin intervals to keep them
together on the same page. The fn and separation line appear to rise up to
fit the whole citation as needed and the text jumps to the next page. In
this particular instance, there was a first line of a new paragraph that
started at the bottom of the problem page...we manually returned that line to
a new page, but the fn did not jump up. There must be some formatting
snafu...or is there a way to command that the footnote receive dominance over
the document. Your help is appreciated.
