Suzanne, I assume from your response that you do not approve of removing the
Footnote Separators, and I do not disagree.
I will make a case with our admins boss. I enjoy telling our senior leaders
that they are incorrect in their requests, and have convinced many of them
often.
In any event, many thanks for the insight. I never cease to learn just
reading your offerings to the Word groups. Please do not ever stop this
valuable contribution to the those of us less learned.

It's not a border; it's the Footnote Separator, which, BTW, is conventional.
To remove it (if you really, really want to), switch to Normal view, then
View | Footnotes. In the dropdown on the toolbar of the footnote pane,
select Footnote Separator. Click on the separator and delete it. You may
need to change the font size and/or line spacing of the Footnote Separator
paragraph to 1 point if you don't want any space allowed for the separator,
either.

...
A user in our company needs to insert many footnotes into a report. When
she
does so a 2 inch long border is inserted above the footnotes at the
bottom
of the page. Her boss wants the borders removed.
I can not figure out how to comply with her request.

Please help
Thanks, as usual.
