Donald,

You want just a stand alone footnote, not related to any source,
right? There are two ways you can do this in TMG that I can think of:

1. As a CD-only pseudo-source. Create a source, maybe called Notes,
with output template for full and short footnote as [CD], and
bibliography of --. Then you cite the source to the tag, and enter the
note in the CD. This method puts the note with all source notes, that
is in endnotes or footones.

2. As a memo. This requires that the tag not use the memo field. Make
sure there is no memo reference in the sentence structure. Then, in
the report definition, specify that Memos go to footnotes. (This works
in narratives, I'm not sure about other report styles.)
