When I open a document created in Word 2003 in Word 2007 it (Word 2007) adds
at least two, sometimes more, paragraph marks at the bottom of the page
between the text and the footnotes, under the short horizontal line that
appears at bottom of the text. I don't want this much space between text and
footnotes, but for the life of me cannot find how to adjust it, since the
paragraph marks are either greyed out or I cannot select them with my cursor.
I think this is a new default in Word 2007 which adds this space--using
paragraph marks to reveal the space--but I don't know how to modify them.
I created a long document (ok, a book, with fourteen chapters) in Word 2003
when lighning hit my old machine and I had to upgrade to a new box, and with
it came Word 2007 (well I paid for it!). Now I am going back and forth
between my old laptop--running Word 2003--and my new computer--running Word
2007, and I keep getting changes in the bottom of the page.
Help! I'm an old Word user going back to vers. 1 so I'm somewhat familiar
with the offerings, but have never been very comfortable with employing
styles, which I suspect is where the formatting is occurring.
