Thanks for all of your suggestions. The footnote separator was already
formatted for single spacing, but still leaves too much space between the
last line of text and the separator. Any ideas? By the way, I've talked to
Microsoft Word support, and they don't seem to know what to do.

Thanks for the 2 suggestions, but they didn't solve the problem. I am
using
Word 2007. No extra paragraphs show up in Draft view. When I display
the
footnote separator line in Draft view, only a 2 inch separator shos up.
Since
this is a dissertation, I have to use double spacing; I suspect that is
part
of the problem.
Any suggestions?

I have already set the footnote format to place footnotes at end of
text
instead of bottom of page, but this doe snot help. I am using 12 pt
Century
Schoolbook font. How can I get the space smaller between the last
line
and
the footnote separator line?

To edit the footnote separator line, or the space between line and
text
for that matter, you need to go to Normal View. Then choose Footnotes
from the View menu. Choose Footnote Separator from the dropdown menu
on the bottom of the page. With Show/Hide active you'll probably see
a
couple of pi-like symbols (paragraphs). Delete the ones you can miss.
