I am having the same problem, except the footnote is set to the bottom of
the
page, and I even changed the distance from the end of page (But I think
that
is more for the footer than a footnote)...and there is still a huge gap. I
am
trying to move something down one line (It is above the footnote) and it
keeps moving to the next page, while the footnote is not moving and still
taking up half of the page....what do I do?

"below text" etc are footnote settings, and in Word 2002, you will find
them
on Insert | Reference, Footnote.

If you click Close instead of OK, you should be able to change the
setting
without inserting a footnote--otherwise, ctrl-z should Undo the note
insertion but not the setting change.

I've been through the File | Page Setup | Layout menu, and the Tools |
Options menu, but I can't find any "Bottom of page" or "Below text"
settings.
Can someone point me to where I can set these things?

FYI, I'm having the same prob as original poster (huge blank margin
below my
footnotes). I reset the "from edge" measurement as recommended (it was
already only at 0.5), but it made no difference. I'm using Word 2002
SP3.

Thanks for any help...

Make sure you have the footnote position set to "Bottom of page" and
not
"Below text."
