I've used Word in its pre-5.0 versions to produce hundreds of documents, many with footnotes. Things generally worked quite well. But with Word 5.0, when composing in galley mode, using the double column point and click option, I've uncovered a new Word feature! The text is laid out in double columns, with NO space left at the bottom of the column for footnotes, and then the footnote text is laid out directly OVER however much text it takes at the bottom of the page to print the footnotes! This result is the same when using page preview or when printing the page. When I used Page View, the bug disappeared, but I'm concerned that this will come back to haunt me the day before a major paper, loaded with footnotes, is due for submission. Has anyone else had experience with this or related problems? Is staying in Page View a reliable workaround?
