Default Move Footnote Separator Line into the left Page Margin

It seems to me a bug, however, that Word will quite happily appear to move
the Footnote Separator, and indeed it is moved, but it is also truncated at
the margin.

Thanks Stefan,
That could be the option that i might use in the future. I could not

move
the page margin here, couse of other specs. (if you wanna know i can

tell
ofcourse).

What i did now to solve my problem: I deleted the Footnote Seperator

and
placed a Border in the Style of the Footnote. That worked for me

becouse i
needed a line across the full with of the page.

Rather than setting a negative left indent for the footnotes and

the
footnote separator, you could set a positive left indent for the

text
in the body of the document (and then change the page margin by an
equal amount, if necessary, to preserve the look of the document).

Hi,
If i move the Footnote Separator Line into the left Page Margin,

the
part of
the line which is in the page margin is not visible, anymore.
How can keep the whole Seperator Line visible?

I changed the Left Indent of the Paragraph Style.
Via Normal View, Select View | Footnotes. Go to Footnote pane,
Select
Footnote Separator, and then changedthe paragraph style.
FYI: the Footnote and the Footnote Marker stay visible in the

Page
Margin.
Thanx, Ward Visser
