Fottnote length

[Lady]

I am transcribing a long book with many, many lengthy footnotes. The author
is going to put many of these footnotes back into the text but I know there
will still be enough to go around. What I'm wondering is if there is a way
to force the footnotes to remain together on one page when they are longer.
I checked help and can see where they have the foonote notice feature where
it will insert a note about the footnote going to another page but what I
really want to do is on the few pages where this may happen, just enlarge
the footnote area. Is this possible? If not, is there another program that
I can use that will accomodate me?

Have you tried modifying the Footnote Text paragraph style to include
the "Keep lines together" option, which is found on the Line and
Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box?
