balancing columns in WORD

R

roberto21

hI, I am having an unexpected problem with word 2007. I have a
document that starts in one column, then switches to two colums and
finally reverts to one. The two column part stays perfectly balanced
as long as there are no footnotes in the text. As soon as I insert a
footnote, the footnote text goes to the bottom of the related column
(and this seems OK), but the text is not balanced any longer and the
following one-column section is pushed to a new page, even though the
section break continuous is present at the end of the last column. I
have also tried to insert the footnotes before formatting the text to
two columns, but as soon as I try to change the layout to two columns
the columns are generated with no balancing and again the following
section is pushed to a new page. I may be wrong, but I don't remember
having this kind of problem in word 2003: is there some hidden setting
that is driving me nuts?
Thanks
Robert
