WSR,
See if this helps. Go to draft view, last icon at the bottom of the Word
screen.
Double click a footnote reference number in the text, that will bring you at
the bottom of the screen in the footnote window. At the top click the arrow
next to footnotes, choose separator, do you see the carriage returns there,
if so, delete them. If not, I hope someone will have better ideas.

I have inserted a footnote reference that has 5 paragraph (carriage
returns for those who remember typewriters) that precede it.

I cannot delete those paragraphs that precede the footnote.

Thanks for reading. Any help is appreciated 8^
