Make sure that the footnotes don't contain any empty paragraphs: Click
the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to turn on display of nonprinting
marks. If you see any unnecessary paragraph marks (¶) in the
footnotes, delete those. For example:

1 This is my first footnote.¶
¶ -- Place the cursor before
this paragraph mark and press
BACKSPACE.
2 This is my second footnote.¶

Another thing to check is that the Footnote Text paragraph style has
Line Spacing set to "Single" and that Spacing Before and/or After are
both set to either a small amount (say 2-4 pt) or to 0 (zero).

Hi Stefan,

Thanks a lot for your reply but I had already done all the things
you
mention and still had the problem.

Do you have any other idea?
