I had an extended discussion with one of Word's developers about this very
matter. It seems that they decided that reliable figure and footnote handling
was a problem for a page layout program, not a problem for Word. 

If anyone knows of a human-friendly solution in either Word, Nisus, PageMaker 
or their permutations, please let me know how you do it. The Mac may be 
wonderful for magazines and newsletters and the like, but it I find it 
somewhat short of 'insanely wonderful' for writing technical figures with 
simple figures and footnotes. Grmmpf...
