Default Footnote: Reduce blank space below it

Check if the Footnote Text paragraph style is defined with Spacing Below. If
it does, you can set the value to zero.

Another thing to consider: If you press Ctrl+Shift+8 to display nonprinting
marks, do you see any undesired contents, such as empty paragraph marks (¶),
in the footnote area?

Hi

On all pages in my thesis I have a footer. On many pages above the footer
I
have inserted a footnotes. No matter the amount of text in the footnote
there
is always a couple of lines of blank space below it and above the footer.
I'l
like to reduce this blank space below the footnote and above the footer.
Several of you have posted very helpful comments about goinf into normal
view, view footnotes and selecting the separator but this does not help
with
the blank space after the footnote.

Any suggestions and thanks for your help in this formum

Warm regards/gary
