Force non-split paragraph to stay on same page as footnote [closed]
Hey,
i am having trouble with my footnotes. Since i do not want to have split footnotes on several pages i activated Do not split paragraph. The problem occurs that the footnote paragraphs wanders to the next page. How can i force the paragraph to stay always on the same page? It might be about the format of my general text!?
Thanks in advance.
The first thing with which I would experiment would be to play with "Options" under Format | Paragraph | Text-Flow. Does anything change if you un-tick "Orphan control" and "Widow control"? It would seem that at least part of the text of footnote #6 should on page 4. And perhaps remove "Do not split paragraph" on the text of #6 (only). I don't like split footnotes either, but allowing 6 to split might keep #7 and its text together on page 5.
Another thought: Possibly, for this paragraph only, reduce/increase the Line Spacing (Format | Paragraph | Indent & Spacing) just a bit. Reducing might pull the fn#6 text on to page 4, forcing the last two lines (and fn#7) off to page 5.
Thanks for those tips. Experimenting with orphan and widow control doesn't change anything. When i remove the "not splitting" the footnote wanders to the correct page but is still split. On another page i have the same problem. When i do it there the main text wanders to the next page. So my footnote 15 and the footnote in the text are on the same page. I wonder why it doesn't work with my example above.
