In Normal View, go to View | Footnotes (IIRC). Then on the bottom, you should get an area with a drop-down menu where you can select Footnote text, or the separators. Here you can delete the separator and insert your own. If you have trouble finding this, please make sure to mention the version (and maybe language edition) of Word you're using.

change format fotnote separator line
Thank you Robert.
I'm using Word 2007 in Spanish. In fact, I don't have any trouble in edition footnote because I've reading all about edition footnotes separator lines or text in this discussion group, but, I need to change the appearance or the style of the footnote separator line. For example, when I'm editing the separator line, I need to include a thick line but I can't.. any way I can't insert a image of a new thick line because inmediatly the Word editor change to "print view", then i'ts impossible to insert a thick line instead of classical thin line to use Word, since many years ago.. Is it possible? I appreciate your help. Lourdes "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote: Hello Lourdes Lourdes R. wrote: How can to change format or style of footnote separator line?

You can't insert it as a graphic, but you can use a thick paragraph border
or an underline (with font size set to a large amount and bolded). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Lourdes R." wrote in message ...

Can't you select the line shown in the Contination Separator dialog
and change its weight with the regular lineweight change box? On Jul 26, 5:01 pm, "Suzanne S.

change format fotnote separator line
I don't think so. This line is quite mysterious. I think Bob Buckland once
explained what it actually is, but when you select it, the line weight tools are disabled and border weight doesn't apply to it, either. You can substitute some other kind of line, but the only way to "edit" the line itself is to copy/paste it to be twice or three times as long (you can't make it shorter). It's in a sort of bounding box (at least it is if you have text boundaries displayed), but that box can't be sized. -- Suzanne S.

change format fotnote separator line
It's been a long time since I had to deal with that line, but I think
its length can be changed either with the handles on the box that appears when you click it (or am I back in FrameMaker again? --which doesn't do footnote continuations), or by changing the margin settings in the ruler while its dialog is open or while the line is selected.

change format fotnote separator line
Nope, there are no handles on the box. Changing the paragraph indents will
change the placement but not the size. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...

change format fotnote separator line
I think you are giving up unnecessarily. If you delete the existing
separator and substitute an underline formatted as, say, 24-point Bold, it will definitely be heavier. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Lourdes R." wrote in message ... Thank you very much, Suzanne and Grammatim, for your time and search in this case. I was practice so many times in all the cases you were written, but nothing happens. The footnote separator line is remain thin. =( I think the only way to resolve this trouble and continued whit my work, is to leave the line like it is, since many years ago, until Microsoft considered to solve this restriction or until somebody tell them, but in that case, we need to wait for the next version, unfortunately. Any way, I appreciate for your help. Lourdes Resendiz "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Nope, there are no handles on the box.
