Why do footnotes get bumped to next page?

[Dennis]

When inserting footnotes in Word 2007, the footnote sometimes appears on the
bottom of the next page rather than on the same page as the footnoted text.
I have tried changing the amount of space allocated for footers, but that
doesn't seem to help. I have also noticed this problem in previous versions
of Word.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FootnoteOnDiffPage.htm for a
discussion of issues in previous versions, some of which may still apply.
