Default Footnote Separator Line

I once had a book-length document that kept adding empty paragraphs to
the Footnote Separator. Every so often I had to open it up and delete
them. It's never happened in any other document, and the only unusual
thing about it was that there was a lot of Hebrew in the footnotes
(but not in the text). Fortunately, it didn't automatically happen
every time the document was opened, and the production pdf could be
successfully produced. (Yeah, that was a publisher who made camera-
ready copy in Word.)

The most common cause of this is that Spacing After has been added to Normal
style (which the separators use). Alternatively, if there are actually extra
empty paragraphs, then you may have pressed Enter while you were editing the
separator.

I have the problem that the empty lines below the footnote separator keep
creating themselves... Why, and how do I avoid them?

In Normal view (Draft view in Word 2007), choose View | Footnotes
(References | Show Notes in Word 2007). On the toolbar in the footnote
pane,
there is a list box. Select Footnote Separator. You can then modify the
formatting of the separator as needed.
