How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
Switch to Normal view (Draft in Word 2007) and View | Footnotes (References
| Footnotes | Show Notes in Word 2007). Select Endnotes if given a choice (you won't be unless you have both footnotes and endnotes in the document). In the dropdown list on the toolbar in the Endnotes pane, select Endnote Separator. Select the separator and delete it. You may want to format the paragraph as 1 pt. You'll probably also want to delete the Endnote Continuation Separator. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Seenewnow" wrote in message ...

How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
Suzanne, thank you for trying! I am using the &&^$#@^ 2007, so I set it at Draft, then went to References/Show Notes. But I don't see the "dropdown list in the toolbar in the endnotes pane" that you mention. I right click within the pane, but I only get the same menu that I get if I click on "footnotes" in the menu at the top of the page, which doesn't have anything like "endnote separator" in it, even when I click on "notes options." Can you help me find that toolbar??????? Thank you! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Switch to Normal view (Draft in Word 2007) and View | Footnotes (References | Footnotes | Show Notes in Word 2007).

How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
Assuming that the document contains at least one endnote, when you use Show
Notes in Draft view, you should see an Endnote pane at the bottom of the screen. At the top of that screen is a toolbar with just one dropdown list box, showing All Endnotes. Click the arrow beside this and choose Endnote Separator or Endnote Continuation Separator. -- Suzanne S.

How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
Thank you for your quick reply! I realized that whereas I am using (*&&^^%
2007, I had set my document for '97-'03 compatibility, and so the pulldown didn't show up. It all works great - except now, for some reason I don't understand, I have a long line as a separator, even though the line itself has been deleted! I'll figure it out. THANK YOU for your patience.

How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
You probably didn't delete the Endnote Continuation Separator, which is one
of Word's more illogical consistencies (consistent with Footnote Separator/Footnote Continuation Separator, but betraying zero knowledge of what multiple pages of endnotes would ordinarily look like). -- Suzanne S.

How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
Suzanne, you are a kindhearted and patient soul. I *did* delete both the separator and the continuation separator, but that long line is still there both as a separator, and when the notes run to a new column, as the continuation separator. I'm working in two columns, and it runs virtually the entire length of the column. When I do alt-v, f and go to that menu to "reset" the separator, if I put the normal separator back in, *both* lines show up!!!!!!!!!! "Suzanne S.

How do I eliminate the line above endnotes?
Now that really *is* bizarre. I wonder if the separator paragraph has
acquired a border, or the endnotes have acquired a border, or something weird like that. If you want to send me a portion of the document illustrating the problem, I'll take a look, but I warn you I'm not really up to speed on Word 2007, so I might miss something. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, that's what it looks like -- like the separator paragraph has acquired a
border.. But I can't click on the paragraph sign for the separator paragraph, so I can't check it or fix it.

well, we make a good team -- you are a genius and i am an idiot. yes, i
could check on them in draft view, and yes, it was a border. so it's removed and i'm good to go now. the only thing that's too bad is that the thing i would have sent you to fix is completely fascinating! in all seriousness, thanks a million.
