Default Spaces after footnotes

The more I hear, the more I think the document may be corrupt; see

Thanks Herb. Just to be sure, I went through the procedures you gave but
they're all normal. The blank space appeared while I was working on the
format of the tables in my document. The spacing kept increasing. Thanks
in
advance.

Don't know all that you've explored, but if there is anything in the
footer
area, make sure that the footer spacing (From edge: Footer) in Page
Setup -
Layout tab is not set larger than needed.

The other setting that might be giving you too much space is if the
footnote's paragraph After spacing is set too high (Format - Paragraph -
After), or if the line spacing has a multiple setting (Format -
Paragraph -
Line spacing).

the
blank below the footnotes. Thanks a lot in advance

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm, but if the
space
is
actually below the footnotes and not above, then the article may not
help,
as it sounds as if something else is going wrong.

news Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your suggestion. I already had the footnotes set to
Bottom
of
page. I fiddled with the bottom page margin and that helped. I
checked
the
footer and it does not appear to be overlapping with the white
space. I
still
however have a white space of about 1-1.5 lines which should not be
there
given the margin setting.

Graeme.

Set the footnotes to "Bottom of page" instead of "Below text"?

Hi,

How do I remove the large space that appears between footnotes
and
the
bottom of the page in Word?

Graeme.
