footnote position wont change

I'm still searching the web for this one, but thought I'd get it out here.
I have a doucment with footnotes. I want to change ALL footnotes to be in
the "below text" position. Howveer, when I make that seelction in the
Insert ReferenceFootnote dialogue and make sure Whole Document is
selcted, nothing moves. Even after the doc has been saved and closed -
nothing moves.

What gives? please help?

Never mind, after hours of testing I figured it out.
Why M$ doesn't make this stuff easy to find and easy to understand - I'll
never know.

The answer is: to get footnotes to appear under the referenced text WITHOUT
pushing all the later text to the next page, you must use a continuos
section break, THEN insert an ENDNOTE using location END OF SECTION.

Sheesh.

Well, there *is* a difference between footnotes and endnotes. Generally
speaking, footnotes appear on the same page with their references in the
text (either at the bottom of the page or immediately below the text;
endnotes are collected at the end of a section or the entire document (or
some compromise between the two, but not on every page). You seem to be
confused.
