deleting returns within footnotes
A book length manuscript has footnotes. On each page, at the end of the text
a line is drawn half way across the page; this is good. After the line WORD 2003 inserts 5 enter commands leaving an useless gap between the text and the footnotes. These enter commands can not be deleted when operating in the standard writing modes. They are shown in gray, rather than black. If I turn on 'view - headers and footers' the become black but still resist deletion. I need to know how to remove them. They add extra space to the manuscript that is of no use. |

deleting returns within footnotes
Sounds like they have become part of the Footnote Separator. Reset it,
