Hi Everybody,
I have an interesting challenge for you if you're up to it. I don't
know if it can be done though.
My client wants to add footnotes at the bottom of the page with extra
"notes on the footnotes" below it.
Here is an example of what he is looking for:
MAIN TEXT
It will be months before the proof can be thoroughly
checked^(1). But if true, it will verify a statement about
three-dimensional^(2) objects that has haunted mathematicians
for nearly a century, and its consequences will reverberate
through geometry and physics.
FOOTNOTES ON MAIN TEXT
1. This was attempted many times^(a).
With regard to two dimensional objects there has been many styudies
conducted within the last ten years^(b). However the results were not
unanimous^(c).
NOTES ON FOOTNOTES
a. See T. Johnsons experiment with whole integers Harvard, 1999; also
the laboratory assessment of the Princeton team of physical and
aeronuatical exploration. In their essay 2001. Published by
Princeton Books.
(b) There have reports of tests as far back as 1978 conducted at the
Massachusets Institue of Technology with resuls at odds however the
documentation is scant and unreliable in the word of the M.I.T team.
(c) See Statistics of Physical amalgams pp109-234: The Logic of
Infinity p. 108.
I can add a footnotes at the bottom of the page and add the "notes on
the footnotes" in another file and hide some other cross references to
a hidden footnote on the main page. I can't add the titles though.
Adding an extra text frame might work but then I can't guarantee the
amount of space needed for the information that I want to add.
Anyone have a thought how this might work in Frame or in Word?
I am using Frame 7.2 on Windows XP.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
