Well, that is what I read from the book. It says if you want to
use footnote within {...}, then you will have to use \footnotetext
& \footnotetext to overcome this problem.

Thanks. I will try that. I don't know why I am using it. I just
want to break them into paragraphs, so what command should I use
instead??
I bought the book Latex Companion, I read a bit of it already, but
I still don't have an idea, when should I use what command. I guess I
must
be learning in a wrong way.
Thanks again for the help! :)
