You have evidently applied numbering to the Normal style, which is used for
the separator. You can edit the separator directly (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm), but a better
approach would be to use a specific numbered style (such as List Number) for
your numbered paragraphs.

I have a document with numbered paragraphs. When I insert a footnote, Word
insists on numbering the graph line separating text from footnote. I
cannot
find a way to turn this "feature" off.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
