The columns problem in word xp 1

[olin]

I managed the upper half of the page one column and the lower half two columns. But as soon as I inserted a footnote in somewhere of the upper half, the whole words in lower half (area of two columns) jumped into next page, so a half blank page appeared!
How can I manage a page with two types of columns and a footnote?

Thank you!

If you are using tables, go to Tables-Tables properties - Row and check "Allow rows to break across pages"

No, I am not using table, but I devided the passages by format->columns...

Well I would suggest you use the Tables for your problem. Results will be the same and Tables are ever so flexible
