Also note that you can try to use a macro to get rid of "phantom" footnotes.
Place the insertion point in the footnote. Then run the following:
Selection.Footnotes(1).Delete
To run this command, first press Alt+F11. In the Visual Basic Editor,
display the Immediate window (for example by pressing Ctrl+G). Type the
command as shown above, and then press Enter.

Tried that early on (and again just now) and it says I am not allowed to
delete.

Okay, this is a single page that is showing, as it were, a phantom
footnote?
Switch to Normal view and View | Footnotes. This will allow you to see
all
the footnotes together. Find the "empty" one, and try using Backspace
in
the
empty paragraph or Delete at the end of the previous footnote. This
will
usually work.

Not that I can see with the separator.
I don't know where I would find an empty paragraph.
(There is a paragraph symbol, but I am not allowed to delete it.)
"This
is
not a valid action for footnotes."
And it is only on this page and not any others with f-notes.
