1. I have a table on a page in landscape format which spreads over 2 pages.
2. I have enabled the table top row to "repeat as a header row at the top
of each page". This header row has footnote references.
3. The footnotes, however, ONLY appear on the first page and NOT the second
page.
4. Is there a way to make the footnotes appear on the first AND second page
as well?

Thanks! This is driving me nuts.....
 
Hello Jonathan

I don't think it's in Word's "game plan" to repeat a footnote; I've
never seen this in any document before (no matter what software). But
the footnote reference will guide the reader to the footnote on the
preceding page, so there shouldn't be any need to repeat the actual
footnote.

I knw this is an old post, but I found it in my search for the same problem.... anyway, I think I have come up with a rather elegant, if fiddly solution:
  1. Before your table set a section-break (preferably to a new page)
  2. After your table sent another section-break
  3. Copy the Footnote text to the clipboard
  4. Go to the Footer of the page where your table header is
  5. Paste the text into the Footer
  6. Check "Different first page"
  7. Uncheck the "Link to Previous"
And there you go, your Footer now carries the text and all you need to do is re-paste it if you change the original.

Hope this helps!
