footnote insert also puts 14 unwanted blank lines in middle of my.
Ms. Thomas,
Did you ever find out how to fix this problem?

When I delete the footnote the text is fine (blank lines are gone). But of course I can't delete them manually. Any idea of what the problem is? |

This is what I ended up doing to fix this problem.
Highlight the paragraph that is being split between 2 pages, leaving so much space between the text and footnote separator. Under format/paragraph/line and page breaks there are 4 choices to check under pagination. Uncheck them all. No one single choice or combination of pagination choices fixed the problem every time, but usually "Widow/Orphan Control" and "Keep with Next" were the most helpful choices. When the pagination was such that most of the text filled the space on the first of the pages, then I'd edit the document and footnote text a bit to try and save a line. It took awhile, but eventually I was able to eliminate the excess space between the document text and footnote separator in almost every situation. Hope that helps.
