the end of a chapter or in a generated list at the end of the book. And
correctly split across columns and pages if necessary (is that right,
Graeme?).>>

Yes! When I laid out a legal article (for a non-legal mag) with all its
requisite footnotes in a three-column spread, Frame's automatic footnote
handling intersected hideously with the magazine's required feathering and
column-balancing. I worked around the problem by using methods I learned
using Frame 3.0.1: turn the three-column spread into three individual,
linked text frames, then add a separate three frames in their own flow to
hold the footnote text...yuckh. What a mess. And I only had to do that once.
The legal publishers are probably still using Ventura or Word.
