	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! :)
