I am currently trying to technically improve a thesis made by one of my colleagues and have encountered the following problem (I hesitate to call it an issue): in the thesis there are a number of footnotes and some illustrations. One of the captions to the illustration should contain a footnote indicating the source. In MS Word there is no problem in adding the footnote to the caption as Word treats captions as regular paragraph characterised by “Legend” style. In OOo it seems impossible to add a footnote to the caption (at least I do not know the way to do it).
I would really appreciate if anybody could indicate the solution or a useful workaround preserving the numbering of the other footnotes (since the thesis is not mine I struggle from interfering with the merits and contents of the paper too much).
Thanks in advance.
