Make sure that the Footnote Text style doesn't have extra Space Before/After
(this is unlikely but could result from your having modified Normal style).
If the problem is only at the beginning of the footnote space, the problem
could be that the separator has acquired extra empty paragraphs; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm. To troubleshoot any
issue of this type, displaying nonprinting characters (and text boundaries)
is a good start.
See also

that might be related.
