footnote

[minimus]

Is there a way to prevent lengthy footnotes to flow over the next page, and
appear as a continued footnote.
I would like my footnote, regardless of how lenghty it is, to be on the same
page.

You can format the entire footnote as "Keep lines together" (and, if more
than one paragraph, "Keep with next"), but be aware that this may result in
the footnote reference and the entire footnote moving to the next page,
leaving the previous page very short. See
