Does anyone have a method? Thanks, By itself FM puts Table-footnotes after the table. If you want to have them collected within the table, you need to do it yourself: - Write the footnotes in an arbitary ¶-format (e.g. tf-table-footnote) into the table row - Define a cross ref format for the references to your footnotes. You may need to define an appropriate character format also. - At the place of the footnote references, insert a crossreference to the relevant fopotnote-¶ and format this with the defined format.

RE: Table Footnotes
Hi Carla, I had this problem recently. Here's how I 'faked' it. I created a 'real' footnote reference in text outside the table, so the footnote text appears at the bottom of the page with the other 'real' footnotes. Then I 'hid' the footnote reference by making it white and very small. Lastly I added a superscript number in the table to resemble the footnote reference. Caution: Although this method will automatically update the footnotes if there are changes ahead of this table footnote, the fake footnote reference in the table is not updated automatically, and would have to be updated if necessary. There is probably a way of automating this. In my situation I had to make a Framemaker document look like an existing printed report. ...Chris -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Martinek, Carla Sent: May-06-09 2:18 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Table Footnotes I haven't used table footnotes in ages, but I have a need for them in a current document.

RE: Table Footnotes
Thanks. Fred & Berny's explanations remind me why I quit using table footnotes years ago, and rewriting the documentation to avoid them. Now I gotta fix these...

RE: Table Footnotes
Hi Carla, AFAIK, table footnotes have always behaved that way. We also have tables in our manuals that span several pages and all of the footnotes are at the bottom of the table. My big pet peeve is when the table is long enough that the footnotes flip to the top of the next page, without taking the last row of the table with them. That just looks dumb.

RE: Table Footnotes
One answer is to not use the Table Footnote feature per se. Instead, create a footer row (with spanned cells) and put autonumbered notes inside it. Then in your table cells, insert cross-references to the numbers of the notes. This approach allows you to reference the same note from multiple cells, and all notes will appear on each page if the table breaks across pages. -Fred Ridder > Subject: Table Footnotes > Date: Wed, 6 May 2009 13:17:48 -0500 > From: cmarti...@zebra.com > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > > I haven't used table footnotes in ages, but I have a need for them in a > current document. > > Am I losing my mind, or have they always appeared only at the *end* of > the table, even when it spans pages?
