Table footnotes and connecting frames

Hi all,

My problem.  I'm trying to do a short (5 or 6 rows) two-column frame in the middle of a one-column text frame then place footnotes inside the two-column frame. 

Solution #1.  Make a table with no ruling.  This is what I would normally do, but this time I need footnotes to go to the bottom of the page instead of the bottom of the table.

Solution #2.  Make a new two-column text frame then connect the flows.  Unfortunately, this is pushing the flow into areas where I don't expect them to be.  Must be doing something wrong.

What I've been doing that doesn't work.

1) Making a normal multiple page flow.  Say, 5 pages.
2) Going back to (say) page 2.

3) Inserting a new two-column text frame.

4) Inserting text into the two-column text frame.

5) Connecting the two frames.

But this is feeding text that should be inside the two-column text frame down to below the point where I inserted the two-column text frame.  And reversing steps #3 and #4 don't seem to help, tho perhaps I should double check that. 

The only other thing I can think of to try is...

1) Splitting the original Flow A into 2 separate frames.

2) Inserting a new two-column text frame in between those two frames.

3) Connecting the three frames.

But I'm not sure this would work. 

Anyone know of a good tutorial that deals with this?  I used to be fairly expert with Frame..... back when I was using Structured Frame 7.... so don't like wading through 2 hours of video looking for a 2 minute fix.
While I'm not new to Frame, I've forgotten stuff or things have changed.  

Ah, the perils of getting old.  First thing that goes is your hearing, but fortunately I don't need my hearing aids to read comments here.  But I forget what the second thing that goes is....
