Pasted into a new doc, new section

Again, the proposed solution only *appears* (at first glance) to work. (1) When
I create a new document, create a new section, collect the footnotes at the
end, and paste the text into that new section, the result is large gaps between
the text and the footnotes (see attached). (2) The second file containing the
alleged solution did not have the exact same text and was not double spaced. As
I noted before, I suspect the file only *appeared* to fix the problem by
coincidence, due to the spacing, location of the footnotes, line breaks, etc.
(3) The second file containing the alleged solution did not actually solve the
problem (note the different gap sizes between the text and footnotes on both
pages). The issue would become clearer if the text were allowed to roll over to
the third page, as in my example and in the large gap in the first proposed
solution. (4) The first file containing the alleged solution did not solve the
problem (see footnote 18), and the procedure used in the second file was no
different, meaning the problem still is not resolved--just masked.

Unless I am missing something, the section method is not an actual solution to
the problem, except where footnote lengths and line breaks happen to
coincidentally line up in such a way as to make the footnotes *appear* to be
collected at the bottom of the text.
