Vertical alignment and Footnote

My son was trying to create a document that had text he wanted to appear at
the bottom of the page leaving the top blank to draw something on for school.
We set the Vertical Alignment to Bottom which worked great until we had to
add a footnote and the text jumped back to the top of the page with the
footnote at the bottom leaving the middle blank. Is there something I am
missing to make this work or is it just a bug or is there some good reason it
shouldn't work? Also, I had the Reveal Formatting pane open and it still
showed as Bottom Aligned even though the text seemed to be top aligned.
 
You have to change the placement option for the footnotes: Right-click in
the footnote text, and choose Note Options from the context menu. In the
Footnote and Endnote dialog box, under "Location," choose "Below text" for
"Footnotes." Click Apply.

You are welcome.

FWIW, "Below text" is required if you want to vertically center documents
that contain footnotes.
