I am trying to make footnotes in a table in LaTEX, and having no luck.
I am using the table environment, and tried to put in footnotes just
as one would in text.  The numbers denoting footnotes appear in the
right places, but the footnotes do not appear.  (Since I want the table
on a separate page, I am making it float, but it the footnotes don't
footnotes don't come out even if I forget about float.)  The little bit
on footnotes in tables on Page 99 of the Lamport book is enough to
indicate that it is possible, but not enough to help me figure out
how.

Second, I don't want to use numbers for the footnote symbol anyway.
(Numbers make the meaning ambiguous.)  I thought one could choose the
symbol, but it seems you can only do so in mathmode?

Third, how does one control the size of type in caption of the table?
It comes out smaller than the text and the contents of the table.

I would be very grateful for any tips.
