Text Formatting ⇒ Footnote not showing

[kerenkapach]

Hi all,

I am using TeXniccenter to create a dvi document.
from some reason, using \footnote doesn't work and the footnote doesn't appear at the bottom of the page (although super-script "1" does show on the correct word in the text). when using \footnotetext, the text does appear at the bottom of the page, but without the footnote number.

Any ideas why \footnote doesn't work?


Thanks,
Keren

Footnotes in floats don't work as usual. For more than assumptions and random shots provide a true minimal example.

Hi Keren,

yes I have some ideas, for example footnotes don't work by default in LaTeX's tables.
It would be good if you would post a minimal working example which shows your problem. You did not tell much details yet, so it's probably not very effective to discuss every possible problem.

Use \footnote{}\footnotetext{write the text here}
You can as well use \footnotemark\footnotetext{write the text here}
Any of these two suggestions will solve your problem. Hope this helps

Although \footnotetext probably is the right solution (we can't be sure without a minimal working example (MWE)) your suggestions may not work if applied naively (depending on where it is used):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
  \footnotemark\footnotetext{foo bar}
\end{table}

\end{document}

(That's the reason why Thorsten and Stefan asked for the MWE).
