Hi,

I've got a warning when I use the footmisc package. How can I get rid of
it ?

Here is the command I use:
\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

And here is the output given by LaTeX:

Package: footmisc 2004/01/23 v5.3a a miscellany of footnote facilities
\FN@temptoken=\toks14
\footnotemargin=\dimen105


LaTeX Warning: Command \@makecol has changed.
Check if current package is valid.


I use MikTeX (I did all the updates, so I guess I have the last version)
under WinXP

Thanks in advance,
Dasch

Didn't you read and understand the answers that you got in
fr.comp.text.tex to the same question? I thought they told you that
such questions needs a minimal example and that your problem has
something to do with the versions of your files, so you should also
sent the output of the \listfile-command. I really don't want to have
to start all over again.

sigh. i admit i've not tried footmisc 2004/01/23 with latex
2003/12/01, which was issued later than the footmisc release :-(

i'll take a look at the problem over the weekend -- can't do it just
now.

ulrike, for once, this one is a problem that _doesn't_ require full
details ... sorry to barge in this way. (and plainly i ought to be
reading fr.c.t.t -- i can, after all -- but life is a finite resource
and i already squander too much of it in hospitals and things...)

I didn't mind that he didn't sent all the details, but that he ignored
every answer he got in fr.c.t.t. He asked there exactly the same
question (in french). I sent him a minimal document and told him I
can't reproduce the problem. Someone else also asked for a minimal
document. Dasch said sorry and send one. Then two people answered, one
who couldn't reproduce the error and the other one (with a new LaTeX)
who could and who told him it's a problem of the new LaTeX.

He got a lot of useful informations and then he goes to c.t.t. and sent
a question that makes the impression he hasn't a clue what's going on.

He could have sent you a bug report or post here the simple remark
"there is a clash between footmisc version ... and the new LaTeX .... I
get the error ...".

i get it. he could indeed have saved me time by sending an actual
failing example. but the poor dear probably imagines i have a crystal
ball that would unfailingly find the combination of options that
provoke the error.

however, i did find the necessary combination, eventually, after
installing the latest latex on my home machine.

so i can get down to it now. and while i'm at it, i can make a start
at thinking of a per-spread footnote setup for william adams.
