Yes, that works thanks. I have also realised that if I change the "from
edge" footer setting in Page Setup this achieves the same thing. I should
have thought of that before. Thanks very much for your help.

Hi Chris,
Perhaps the problem lies in the footer you recorded. Without more detail it's hard to say.
However, if you insert text using code along the lines of:
Sub TypeFooter()
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterP rimary).Range.Text = "Hello World"
End Sub
you only get the one paragraph mark.

Thanks but the problem is that if you record your own footer, when it is
inserted it then has the paragraph symbol after your recorded footer plus an
extra one below pushing the footer up. I want to replace the paragraph
symbol that always sits in a header or footer with my own header and footer.
Even if I delete the extra paragraph symbol and record the footer again, it
puts it back in. Changing the paragraph spacing to a minus setting only
pushes the footer up further.

Hi Chris,
You can't have something in a header or footer that lacks a paragraph mark. As with any other paragraph, though, you can format
such
a paragraph's leading & trailing space settings (best done by defining an appropriate paragraph Style and using that).

Everytime you insert a footer into a Word document, it adds a paragraph
symbol which raises the footer on the page. Does anyone know of a way to
stop this. I can write a macro in VBA which I could then access from the
Developer tab but I would prefer to have users select footer from the Insert
tab and not have an extra paragraph symbol. I have looked at modifying
ribbons in Word 2007 but it seems, that even with an additional program, I
can't add a button to the Insert ribbon. I would be grateful for any
suggestions.
