The solution depends on how you want to adjust the positioning to
the case when the main text might be longer than a page,
or when you switch to another page size or style.

One thing that you can do is to use a graphical screen to
position the notes where you want them to be.

Another possibility is to use a wide table with one cell for
the main text and one cell for the footnote.  You may next set
the height of the cell with the main text to 0.9pag,
or the height of the table to 0.99pag and use a vertical stretch
factor of 1 for the upper cell (curiously, there seems to be a bug
with the vertical stretch solution though).

I also recall that 'Insert -> Link -> Reference to note' and
'Insert -> Link -> Text for note -> Wide' allow you to insert
customized footnotes.

Best wishes, --JOris
