I am using the SIG-Alternate.cls - Version 2.5
template for my document. I want to have a \footnote{...}
in a table. Because my table is very big I use the table*
environment. The footnote also needs to have no number or mark whatsoever. What I have tried:
\documentclass{sig-alternate}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\alph{footnote}}
\begin{document}
% some text here
\begin{table*}
\begin{tabular}
% actual table
\end{tabular}
\caption{Some caption text}
\end{table*}\let\thefootnote\relax\footnote{$^*$The footnote text}
% some more text here
\end{document}
This results in having the footnote on the wrong page. Is there any way to make sure the footnote in on the same page as my 'whole page sized' table? I have another smaller table marked up in the same way, which is not on it's own page, but also with this table I am not able to have the footnote on the same page as the table.
If I put the \let\thefootnote\relax\footnote{$^*$The footnote text}
in the tabular
environment, then there is no footnote at all.
table
environment after the end of thetabular
, not part of the caption. also, it's usually more common for table captions to be above the table, but that's irrelevant to the question.
