Hey

I am currently working on publishing a book and would like to know how one can get equal space between the end of text on a page and the footnote separator line? For some pages there is little space between the two, but on other pages there is a lot of space. I've tried to look on draft - view notes - footnote separator, but I don't see what I'm looking to do there? There's no unnecessary spaces on there or anything. I've seen in many books where they have footnotes that they have equal spacing between the line (or where their footnotes are for books that don't use the line) and the last line of the text on a page. How do I get things like this? Any help would be much appreciated! x

Feel free to let me know if you require any additional info! Thank you!

One thing is to be sure that "Keep Lines Together" isn't selected for either the text paragraph styles or the footnote paragraph style. You might also want to turn off widow and orphan protection.

But mostly, Word isn't a typesetting program, and fine details like that may
not be fully controllable.

As Peter wrote, this isn't fully customizable. You can set footnote
placement to "Below text" (in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box) if that
helps.

(As opposed to "Bottom of Page." That will probably just move the irregular vertical space to the bottom of the page instead of the bottom of the text, and given those two options, I'd rather have "Bottom of Page.")

True. I would also stick to "Bottom of page."
