Footnote Separator
I am using Word 2007.
I am writing a complicated document with multiple footnotes. The document uses two-column layout, and some pages have footnotes on both columns. The paragraph containing the footnote separator is inserted automatically when a footnote appears in the current column. The default paragraph format for the footnote separator uses more space above and below the horizontal line than I prefer. MS Word does not permit me to select the footnote separator paragraph, and I cannot find a style for footnote separators in the style manager. How do I change the format of the footnote separator? Many thanks, Phil |

Footnote Separator
Essentially the same way as in previous versions. Switch to Draft
(previously Normal) view. Then, on the References tab, click Show Notes. There's a dropdown list on the toolbar of the footnote pane. Select Footnote Separator and modify it as needed. Note that if you have modified Normal style to have multiple spacing or Space Before/After, this change will have been propagated to the Footnote Separator style (among many others), which is one reason I recommend leaving Normal alone and using Body Text as the base style for body text. -- Suzanne S.
