Thanks, Christy. I finished that part of my case study this morning.
Elizabeth suggested that I look through some NGS Quarterlies and see how
others have presented theirs. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I
got out a stack of mine and went through them and am glad that I did. I
picked up a few other ideas from them while browsing. One of the first
things I noticed is that they all used a smaller font size for the footnotes
than I was using. I reduced my font size and that helped emensly.
