It's probably space that's gotten into the footnote separator; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm
If there's space before *every* footnote (even when there are several on the
same page), then the Footnote Text style may have acquired Spacing Before.
You will need to modify the style to remove it.
