trouble w/footnote spacing
Hi,
Writing a paper in Word '07 w/required margins of 1" around. However, when I set footnotes, I get weird spacing, like 2 "enters" worth of spacing and it's making my paper look smaller than it really is. Word won't let me change the spacing in the footer, and that's really frustrating-- Please help me out!!!!! Miguel V. |

Your paragraph spacing may be too big. Go into FORMATPARAGRAPHINDENTS AND
SPACING TABSPACING. Make sure it is set for before/after at 0 pt., and single spacing. Maybe that helps. "Miguel V." wrote: Hi, Writing a paper in Word '07 w/required margins of 1" around.

Yes,
I already had those settings. Any other ideas? By the way, I had Office '03 before upgrading, and I don't seem to recall ever having this issue when writing papers under Word. Is this an issue that's come up with just Word '07? It's very frustrating. Miguel V. "Suzanne S.

Check if formatting (spacing before) or contents (such as empty paragraph
marks, ¶) has been added to the footnote separator. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Miguel V." wrote: Yes, I already had those settings. Any other ideas?

trouble w/footnote spacing
There are no seperating paragraph markers between footnotes, but there are
two (double spaced) at the outset of footnoting. Word won't let me click on them or highlight them. VERY frustrating. Miguel V.

Do you see them above the footnotes? That indicates that you should look in
the footnote separator. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Miguel V." wrote: There are no seperating paragraph markers between footnotes, but there are two (double spaced) at the outset of footnoting.

trouble w/footnote spacing
To display the footnote separator: On the View tab, in the Document Views
group, click Draft. On the References tab, in the Footnotes group, click Show Notes. Word displays the footnote pane. Choose the "Footnote separator" item. Now, delete any undesired contents. (To see nonprinting marks, such as paragraph marks (¶), press Ctrl+Shift+8.) Return to Print Layout view. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote: Do you see them above the footnotes?

trouble w/footnote spacing
Ok, that helped a bit, but I still have some significant spacing above the
footnote area, e.g., above the solid line, and I don't know how to shrink the spacing... Thanks for all the help. Do you have any other suggestions in the above area? Miguel V.

If you have the footnotes set to "Bottom of page" rather than "Below text,"
this may be inevitable in some cases. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm -- Suzanne S.
