Hack 19 Put Footnotes in Tables

This hack shows you how to implement this
sorely needed feature in a table.

There's no simple way to
create a separate set of footnotes just
for a table, but with a few well-placed section breaks,
it's at least possible.

Here's how to create a footnote that appears right
below the table, as shown in Figure 3-21.

Figure 3-21. A table with a dedicated footnote

First, while in Normal view (ViewNormal), select
InsertBreak and insert continuous section breaks directly
above and below the table, as shown in Figure 3-22.

Next, put your cursor where the first footnote reference should
appear and select InsertReferenceFootnote to
display the Footnote and Endnote dialog, shown in Figure 3-23. Select the Endnotes radio button and choose
"End of section" for the location.
Choose "A, B, C, ..." as the number
format, select "Restart each
section" from the Numbering drop-down list, and
click the Apply button.

By default, Word includes a horizontal
ruler as a separator between the
text and the footnotes. To remove this unattractive separator from
within Normal view, select ViewFootnotes and choose Endnote
Separator from the pull-down menu at the top of the Footnotes pane,
as shown in Figure 3-24. Just delete the endnote
separator and click the OK button to close the Footnotes pane.
