I've got a 2-column, one-page doc (newspaper cols, not tables). In the
text,
I have footnotes. I want the footnotes to span both columns across the
bottom
of the page. They are cramming up at the bottom of the right column
instead.
I tried inserting a continuous section break at the end of my text. This
did
not fix it. Any ideas?
