footnote trouble

[Vedrana]

I'm experiancing some trouble with my text. I have, for example, 3 footnote
reference in the text per page. But my 3rd footnote comment always
transmits to the next page even thought the number reference stays in the
text on the previous page. It seems as if it doesn't have room to stay down
. I think normal "behaviour" would be to transmit a part of the text
(from the end of the page) to the next page and not to do this with the
footnote comment.
I'm pretty sure there is some simple solution for this...
Please help...
Thank you all

You have not indicated which version of Word you are using? The are many
subtle and in some respects, significant differences between Word 2000 and
later versions. (I can't speak for Office 2007)

I recommend you access the help facility in your version of Word? You may
find relevant information under "Formatting Documents" / "Footnotes and
Endnotes" - the detailed topics are listed in the Table of Contents?

I have copied the following info from the help files in Word 2003. One
solution to your problem might be to place footnotes at the end of the text,
instead of
Microsoft Word, by default, places footnotes at the end of each page and
endnotes at the end of the document. You can change the placement of
footnotes so that they appear directly below the text. Similarly, you can
change the placement of endnotes so that they appear at the end of each
section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page
formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such
properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.).

1.. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote.
2.. Under Location, click Footnotes or Endnotes.
3.. Click the option you want in the Footnotes or Endnotes box.
4.. Click Apply.
However, similar problems may occur, if your Page Settings are incompatible
with your printer. Try increasing the bottom margin setting.

thank you for recomending this to me... I'll try to do that.
I am using Microsoft office word 2003 (croatian edition).
I hope this will work...

Thanks again...Vedrana
