Default Footnote Separator Line

Is there any way to change the appearance of the footnote separator line (the
line that separates the text from the footnotes)? My main desire would be to
change the distance of the line from the footnotes. The default setting, in
my opinion, has too much space from the footnote to the line. Even with no
space of the footnote, there still seems to be quite a bit of space there.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Default Footnote Separator Line

Go to Normal (2007: Draft) view. Choose View Footnotes. In the
dropdown at the top of the window that appears, choose Separator (also
Continuation Separator, you'll want to change that one, too). You can
make it a new Style (it normally uses Normal), or just change the
details while you're there. (With a new Style, I suppose you can
change the details without going to all that trouble.)

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I was using Word 2007. I knew that window
was somewhere but I just forgot where.

I'm still not seeing how to change the space after the separator. Maybe
there's not a way to do that?

Thanks so much!
