--- Comment #9 from Attila Szűcs <szucs.attila3 at nisz.hu> ---
At MS Word the column numbers of footnotes are independent from the page
content.
Footnotes have a setting about column number, that can be set to auto,1,2,3,4
Auto will use the column number of the first section on the page.

There can be many section on the page with different column numbers, but there
can be only 1 place for footnotes.
(that is at the page bottom.. or under the last text on the page)

At Writer footnotes can be only 1 column, but they can be placed not only at
the end of the page, but even to the end of a column.
So footnotes can be at many places in a page, that is a nice improvement
compared to word.
This is used to simulate a few cases of Word footnotes.. but it generate other
issues..
Writer can display multy-column-like footnotes as word, only if the
column_end==page_end, and the footnotes have the same column number as the
section...

Tu support footnoes from MS word, I think, multy-column footnotes should be
implemented, where the column number can be set independently from section/page
style column numbers.
