    I am typesetting a book and for some reason the footnotes are jumping to the middle of the page – in between paragraphs.
    I can’t figure out why.
    Any idea why such a thing would happen?

    Thanks!

    Just to add on a detail:
    this only happens on pages that have an indented style that includes a span in order to keep paragraph together and insert some space before and after the group of paragraphs to which the indented style is applies.

    THIS is your problem! ;-) Spanning columns divide your document technically in layoutzones or textframes inside of textframes. Because footnotes are always at the bottom of a textframe, they are – in this case – at the bottom of a layoutzone.

    Solution: Avoid spanning columns. Use different styles for space before / after.

    After posting a playing, I sort of figured out it was the span messing things up.
    I couldn’t figure out why, though. OK, will go get rid of those ever so convenient spans… Thanks for commenting, Kai!
