Turn on the display of non-printing characters and see if you have empty
paragraphs in your footer. Check the paragraph formatting of those
paragraphs that are not empty for the space before and space after settings.

I can't seem to adjust the size of my footers. While my normal template has
them at ~1.5 cm in height, the footer has 'grown' in one of my documents
to
~5.5 cm. I can't seem to find the formatting solution to change it back.

Settings are presently set at:
Headers and footers 1.25 cm from edge
Margins: top & bottom 2.54 cm, right & left 3.17 cm

Though this is what they are set at in other documents with normal sized
footers...

HELP!
