Preventing Overflow/Continuation of Footnotes

[MJG]

Is it possible to force MS Word 2003 to restrict a footnote's text to the
page on which the citation occurs?

Thanks very much,

Delete part of the footnote?

Word will be happy to move an entire footnote to the next page, and it
will take with it the line of text with the footnote reference in it.
You'll then have a great deal of blank space at the bottom of the
previous page.

Put the cursor in the footnote, go to Format > Paragraph, and on the
second tab, check "Keep Lines Together."
