Word -- Footnote Problem

[Puzzled Word User]

There are footnotes in my document that will not print on the page where the
footnote number is although there is plenty of room at the bottom of the
document and the footnote number is way at the top of the document. Any help
would be greately apprecaited.

Word has a "known glitch" (which they haven't figured out how to fix for over
a decade) with respect to footnotes. The footnote often will not appear on
the correct page if the paragraph that contains the footnote is set to
single, double or 1.5 spacing. It has to be set to Exactly 12 pt (single) or
Exactly 24 pt (Double) in order to anchor the footnote to the correct page.

Well, it doesn't have to be set to those specific Exactly settings, but it
may need to be set using Exactly spacing. See
