Dear Knut,
Thanks for the reply. But I am daunted by the prospect of manually
adjusting. As you have correctly guessed, my problem is that I have got
hundreds of very short footnotes. By adding a column to the footnote
section, I thought I could cut down on the total page number. This should
also help even with footnotes which are not that short.
Cheerio,
Takamitsu
