[texhax] auto footnote placement in textwidth area

[bala]

Hi Uwe,

Thanks for your response.

Actually i have need to place the footnotes in the each page 3rd column bottom alignment only (in the text area part).  I have tried in ftnpara package.  But, this is working in 2 column only. But my requirement is 3rd column bottom placement.

simple code is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multicol,ftnpara}
\begin{document}
\title{Title here}
\author{Author here\footnote{Author email id}}
\section{Introduction}
\begin{multicols}{3}
<some text here>
\end{multicols}

\end{document}

Text area width means need to place the footnote in the <some text here> layout.

Hope you can understand my requirement.

Thanks and Regards,
jack

I do not quite understand (i) "footnote placement in the text area width", 
(ii) "controlling in the footer align", and (iii) "automatically update in the
textarea width". The only sense I can make of (i) would be getting
footnotes typeset in a single column of text area width on the page
below the columns, spanning all of them.

And actually I do not quite understand (iv) "drying multicolumn package".
First I thought you tried the *multicol* package already, but you may be
looking for a package allowing multiple columns with text-area-width-wide
footnotes. Anyway, according to what I read, multicol *is* a package that 
does this. It happens without any additional footnote package, just

    \documentclass{article} %% or so
    \usepackage{multicol}
    %% more?
    \begin{document}
    %% title and such
    \begin{multicols}{NUMBER}
    TEXT.\footnote{FOOTNOTE TEXT.}
    \end{multicols}
    \end{document}

Maybe it stops working as soon as you add another footnote package,
I don't know, sorry ...
