footnote takes main text to the next frame


Recommended Posts

I want the text of the footnote to be a multi-line heading at the end of the second frame. To do this, I have shortened the first frame. Unfortunately, either the first line of the footnote remains in the first frame or the entire footnote is in the second frame. But then also the last line of the heading.
An example is attached.
How can I get the footnote on the second frame and keep the heading in the first frame)
(The rest of the page is filled with tables that are not in the frame.)

Maybe somebody can help here?

First off you have chosen to use an Endnote not a Footnote. Second problem is there only the heading. So there is no text for the note to be placed at the end of.

Finally, that desire to dislocate the note from the text doesn't sit well with me. I think it is just wrong.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

I took the wrong type there. Yes, but with footnotes it doesn't work either.
I have two tables next to the heading on each page. The footnote should appear at the end of the second page. That is the plan, which unfortunately does not work. I have attached the finished look as a PDF. I did not create this with Affinity.

@Michael Hofmann, Try this. It is for Publisher Version 2. It uses Text Wrap applied to the tables. I used linked Text Frames the size of the margins, these could be placed on the Master page and it should still work.

Thanks for the file. Now look what happens when the first line on page 2 is a multi line. Write some more words, so that the text comes to a second line. Now the descibed behaviour will be shown, when you move the table a little bit down to have both lines above.
I hope you understand the problem, that I have here.

Perhaps Artistic text will do what it is that you want/need for the headings. I am utterly unsure of what rules you are following here.

Myself (Speaking here as a reader) I want the notes at the foot of the page or at the end of the book. I hate when publishers put them somewhere according to their own rules. "Maybe this one will be after all graphics and or tables".

Hi, you are right. I changed the place for foot notes to the bottom of the text. It is indeed easier for the reader.
The original intention was that the foot note explains the table. The table is happening over 3 pages. For that reason the author wanted to have the footnote some pages later. I could convince him to do differently. ;-)
Nevertheless, the behaviour is strange to me.

Thank you for your time.
