Question

Is it possible to display Footnotes in column layout?

I have many small footnotes (one or two words). To prevent wasting space with the footnotes I would like to have the footnotes in a two column layout and the body text in one column.
Is this possible in Framemaker (latest version)?

    I should add, that you can fake it using cross-references made to look
    like footnotes to a completely separate text frame/flow with it's own
    column settings, but then you have maintenance issues.

    No, not in any version. It's a hardcoded function of the text frame
    itself. You can't even split the frame manually. The footnotes
    automatically go to the bottom of the text frame holding the
    paragraphs with the footnote.
