Default change format fotnote separator line

Can't you select the line shown in the Contination Separator dialog
and change its weight with the regular lineweight change box?

Thank you Robert.


I'm using Word 2007 in Spanish.


In fact, I don't have any trouble in edition footnote because I've reading
all about edition footnotes separator lines or text in this discussion
group,
but, I need to change the appearance or the style of the footnote
separator
line.


For example, when I'm editing the separator line, I need to include a
thick
line but I can't.. any way I can't insert a image of a new thick line
because
inmediatly the Word editor change to "print view", then i'ts impossible to
insert a thick line instead of classical thin line to use Word, since many
years ago..


Is it possible?


I appreciate your help.

I would like more thick line or another style, but not the thin line
that
allways have to use footnotes.


In Normal View, go to View | Footnotes (IIRC). Then on the bottom, you
should get an area with a drop-down menu where you can select Footnote
text, or the separators. Here you can delete the separator and insert
your own.


If you have trouble finding this, please make sure to mention the
version (and maybe language edition) of Word you're using.
