RE: Frame 5.5.3 and Footnotes don't get along

[Kowalski Pete-PKOWALS1 <Pete.Kowalski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

You are the man and a life saver.  Thanks so much and for the perfect
understanding.

At work, most people use 5.5.6 like I but unfortunately others don't.  The
culprit was that there was a character format applied to make the footnote
superscripted.

Thanks again,
Pete
