Some things to check:

1. Switch to Normal view. Click View | Footnotes. In the Footnote
pane, click "Footnote separator" and see if it has any undesired
contents or formatting in it. For example, it can have empty paragraph
marks (click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to see them). An
other common issue is that it has some Spacing Before or After applied
(look in Format | Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab). Repeat the
above for the "Footnote continuation separator."

2. Verify that the Footnote text style has the desired settings for
Line Spacing, Spacing Before/After etc.

3. Check if the Footer paragraph has some Spacing Before applied. If
so, remove it.

My footnotes are sliding up the page as my document progresses. I
have
chosen for them to be at the bottom of the page, the margins are
fine. ANY IDEAS?
