Does this work?

   compute after _page_ / style = [font_size=9pt] left;
      line '03'x "S={borderrightstyle=none borderbottomstyle=none
borderleftstyle=none}Note: "
           "Percents used in this table are column percents. Fisher’s
Exact test was used"
           " when more than 20% of cells for a comparison had expected
frequencies less "
           "than 5. The 'Married/Partners' category in the table
represents a combination "
           "of the Married and Domestic Partners categories from the
previous table and the "
           "'Other' category represents a combination of all other categories.";
      endcomp;

I had thought I could just hit enter at various places so that I could see the whole footnote in the syntax editor, but then the footnote doesn't display correctly in the table anymore. Instead, I wind up with a bunch of blank spaces at various places in the footnote that I don't want.
