It was there in Word 1.0 (mac) and I had students bringing me printouts exhibiting it in whatever was current during the 1999-2000 academic year. (I forget the exact details, but it was something to the effect of when a calculated footnote would go past the pagebreak, *way* to much whitespace [8 or 9 inches] would get added to the previous line to land the text with the note marker onto the next page. [the correct behavior is actually to split the note, to roll the single line to the next page]) -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
