Table footnote placement

[Alan T Litchfield]

Linda,

A table footnote is different to a text footnote, as you know, and I  
don't think there is a way to change that status. So I guess the only  
way around it takes two paths:
1. You take the text out of its table and put a frame behind it with  
no text run around. Don't how it would hold up to movement though.
2. Create a dummy footnote with white text in the main flow, and in  
the table superscript the footnote number.
