Link properties: setting a link to go to the bottom of a page

Is there a way to set a link to go to the bottom of a given page using the Link Properties dialog box?

When I export links using ISI Toolbox, I see that there are destination coordinates, but I can't seem to determine how I can set them to go to the bottom of a page.

In this case, I distilled an MS Word file to a PDF, and I am trying to set a footnote link to go to the botttom of the page where the footnote text appears.

Hi --

You can set a named destination pointing to the footnote, and then set a link action to view the named destination.

Thanks! It worked. Odd that you have to navigate to a page view and create a destination based on the sort of subjective view you have on your computer... would be better if you could specify a specific location - like page 6, bottom, fit width.
