    I have a 2 column document with certain pieces of text spanning both columns. There are footnotes throughout the document which I have left to a single column which has worked fine. The page I’m working on now has body copy above a figure which spans 2 columns. When I place a footnote in the body copy it places it above the figure rather than below it at the bottom of the page. The spans are the problem, is there any way around this?

    Here is a screen grab of the page https://www.dropbox.com/s/0bpepnrou535r6c/Screen_Shot.png?dl=0
    The file is accessible so I have to keep the figure anchored to the content.

    That’s a known ‘feature’ of footnotes in frames with column-spanning paragraphs. Not much you can do apart from placing the illustrations as floats, not as inlines.

    I figured out a way which should work. I cut the spanning items into another text frame and linked them together. The first frame is the full length so the footnote goes to the bottom. I force the second paragraph to the next column. I then take the second text frame and put it on top of the first and link them together.
