Word 2007 footnote / layout problem
Our law review EIC is having some trouble with the placement of an illustration within an article. The authors insists that the illustration appear at the end of a paragraph that contains 7 footnotes. The EIC would like to bump the footnote separator down and have footnotes from this page to appear on the next page. I have found lots of info on continuing | preserving long footnote text but nothing on beginning footnotes on a page other than the page with the citation.
Any solutions?

Alternative 1:
Haven't tried this, but you might try redoing the footnotes as endnotes with
the file ending just after the notes. Then continue the article in another
file, and combine the two files into one with the master document feature.
Might have to experiment with moving some body text back and forth between
the files so you don't leave a large area of white space above the
endnotes.
Alternative 2:
Tell the authors to take a flying leap. :-)
