Default 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!!!!!

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.

Default trouble w/footnote spacing

And note that the paragraph spacing at issue here is the Footnote Text
style.

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.

Check if formatting (spacing before) or contents (such as empty paragraph
marks, ¶) has been added to the footnote separator.

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.
