Footnotes in two-column layout

Hello all,

Today I have two questions to which I haven’t found an answer by myself:

1. My usual layout has one text frame filling the whole page, but divided in two columns.

When I insert a footnote, say in the left-hand column, I want its text to remain in that same column, and not spill over under the right-and column as if I had given a Span command.

I have seen in questions already asked in this forum that some users have their footnotes behave natively just like I would want mine to behave, but I haven’t so far found a way to achieve that result.

I attach a screen capture, as a picture speaks a thousand words, or so they say...

2. is it possible to widen the space between the short separating line above the footnote, and that footnote itself? I have tried Space Before in the Footnote Paragraph Style I have created, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Many thanks to you all for your help.
