Table footnote placement

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Kinda crazy, but you're path number 2 worked. I put the footnote into the
table anchor tag, then applied a white character tag, then typed the
footnote number manually in the table text.

Hope it's not to tricky for my own good, but it seems to work. Just have to
check at the end of process that the numbering hasn't changed.

Thanks!!

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.
