= SUMMARY =

Word’s footnote-layout scheme prohibits footnotes from two or more different divisions from appearing on one page when the footnotes are formatted to print on the same page. Instead, Word advances to the next page after the first set of footnotes are printed, and prints the second or succeeding set on that page.

You can work around this limitation by formatting the entire page as a single division in two-column layout. Then, set the Format Position “frame width:” field to Single Column to format the first paragraph for a single column width. This method simulates a single column division. The two-column paragraphs will then print directly after the first paragraph and the footnotes will print at the bottom of the first page.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If there are two or more divisions on a page, including different column formats, and there are footnotes formatted to print on the same page, Word will ignore the “continuous” division break and advance to the next page at the end of the first division, printing the footnotes for the first division at the bottom of the page. The second division will begin printing on the second page. Setting the Format Division Layout “footnotes:” field to Same-page supersedes the continuous division break setting because Word cannot begin the second division before it prints the first division’s footnotes.
