formating footnotes?
How do I nudge footnotes further down the page? I want to fit more content
on the page. However the footnote is forcing text from the document to the next page. While at the same time there appears white space beneath the footnotes. Thank you. |

formating footnotes?
Dear Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. I read your "Bottom Line" article before requesting help. I read the article again. Your article probably contains my answer, however I can't completely comprehend what I should do. At the risk of boring you, here is some background. I am making some homework problems for students. I format my solutions within the document as hidden text. For page breaks, instead of "Page break" I typically use Section break types Next page. I'd be interested in knowing if you consider that a good or bad Word habit. My sections are formatted to .5" top and bottom. Both sections have the same header, both sections have page numbers at the bottom. In Section 1, the Footnote Separator bar hits at about 8 7/8" on the ruler. The footnote area of Section 1 includes 2 footnotes using 3 lines of text in total. In Section 2 the Footnote Separator bar hits at about 9.5" on the ruler. The footnote area of Section 2 is one footnote (one line of text). My issue is with Section 1, I'd like the Section 1 Footnote Separator bar to hit further down the page. Finally, I did monkey with the FormatParagraphExactly command, but apparently not correctly. Thanks for reading. Turck "Suzanne S.

Are you sure you have footnotes set to "Bottom of page" and not "Below
text"? -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
The footnotes are set to "BoP". I changed Vertical alignment from Top to Center and that has fixed the problem. Thanks for your assistance. Sincerely, Turck "Suzanne S.
