Default My footnotes just disappeared

First of all, here is what is looks like:
http://www.geocities.com/cbfunky/prob

The first picture is from a backup file (thank god for
those!), the second one is from the current document. I
just noticed that all of my footnotes are gone, or
better: they are not being displayed (because when I
hover the cursor over the reference, the baloon thingy
with the text shows up).

I already tried the following:
1) View - Normal - Display - Footnotes: The footnotes
show up in a seperate pane but they do NOT show in the
document and they are NOT being printed!

2) Copying the whole text into a new doc - doesnt change
anything.

3) Inserting a new footnote on the same page as an
already existant one: until five minutes ago the
footnotes would show up until I finished typing the new
one, but now Word only keeps a) crashing or b) re-
numbering pages for the end of all times.

Gnaaaaa, I'm desperate! Please help me!
Thanks,
cbfunky

Is it perhaps that the FN has moved to the next page? See

no, ALL footnotes are gone

Meanwhile, I found out that it might cause problems when
footnotes are inside tables...
