order of footnotes in tables

[Guest]

It seems that Word automatically orders footnotes across rows and then down
columns. Does anyone know how to order your footnote numbers down columns and
then across rows?
Thanks

Footnotes -- like most things in Word -- are ordered by their position in
the document. Left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Fortunately this is how people
read, too, so it's appropriate for most purposes. I think you're stuck with
it.

Format your document to use newspaper columns and then insert a
single-column table.
