I have exactly the same issue. I have taken my document apart, and can't
work out why there is such a huge gap between the footnote and the footer.

It must be the styles, but I can't see why.

I've looked at the page layout, the Footnote Text styles, the footnote
separators in the Normal view and nothing obvious has come up.

Could this be a "feature"??
