Dan, 

This is a very interesting approach and demonstrates, if nothing else, that
adversity brings forth ingenuity. Fie upon Adobe for making it necessary. 

I noted in a message a week or so ago from Lee Richardson of Adobe a comment
to the effect that the team of engineers working on FrameMaker envied
Microsoft's ability to re-write large portions of code at each new release
of MSWord and regretted that decisions about the design of FrameMaker made
long ago prevented the correction of certain shortcomings. I wonder if the
malfunctioning footnotes fall in this category.

Practical question: are you using your method with balanced spreads?

Regards,
Lindsey
