That seems to work and makes perfect sense.  I'll have to look at the explanation, as all those 0 arguments in a row are extremely confusing given that they can only be understood positionally.

Thanks!

That didn't work, but only because the footnote's nested "\end{adjustwidth}" needs to be between the last two braces instead of in front of them.  The first brace in my example ended the boldface group.  Once I got that figured out, it seems to work.

But I'm trying to avoid having to do this in every footnote, so the above \changepage solution seems more general.

That doesn't seem like what I want, but I'll keep it in mind.

Again, thanks all.
