[Framers] Table footnotes

I'm working in unstructured Tech. Comm. Suite 2015, and I have come across a couple of problems with table footnotes. I hope someone out there has a way around them.

In FM, Table Footnote rolls to the next page:
I have one instance where "the stars have aligned" and  the table happens to end right at the bottom of the page, then the table footnotes appear at the top of the next.  I'd really prefer that at least 1 row of the table roll to the next page so the footnotes aren't orphaned.

I thought it might have to do with the fact that this table is in a text inset, but if I go to the source document where the inset is and shorten the text flow to beneath the table, the footnotes roll as orphans there too.

The Table Footnote paragraph style is set to Keep With Previous.
Changing table body styles to Keep With the Next would cause other, more frequent problems.
Other ideas?

Links to Table Footnotes:
In FM, I have a table where 3 cells should  reference the same footnote.  I inserted a footnote in the table at the first instance, then manually made a superscript letter coinciding to that footnote in the other 2 cells and hyperlinked them to the table footnote.

It works in FM, but when I port over to RoboHelp for the CHM files, instead of the manual hyperlinks in those 2 cells, the whole content of the footnote appears after the cell body text!  For the moment, I've just removed the hyperlinks, but I'm curious why my method isn't working and if there's another way.
