Switch to Normal view. Click View | Footnotes. In the footnotes pane, click
the footnote separator item. Make sure to delete any blank paragraphs (¶) or
spacing that has inadvertently been added to the separator.
Note that in order to show/hide paragraph marks as well as any other
nonprinting marks, you can press Ctrl+Shift+8.

Change the this space between the thin line above the foot note and the
actual foot note text. And how can i stop this from keep happening?
