Footnotes in separate text box

Hi there,

I am laying out a research report which contains lot's of footnotes. Can anybody please let me know if it is possible to have the footnotes appear in a separate text box other than the text box that the footnote number appears in?? I would like to creat one text box at the bottom of each page which contains all the footnotes that appear on that page. Any suggests or help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks,

Caleb
