[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Are you sure you have footnotes set to "Bottom of page" and not "Below
text"?

Dear Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. I read your "Bottom Line" article before
requesting
help. I read the article again. Your article probably contains my
answer,
however I can't completely comprehend what I should do.

At the risk of boring you, here is some background. I am making some
homework problems for students. I format my solutions within the document
as
hidden text.

For page breaks, instead of "Page break" I typically use Section break
types
Next page. I'd be interested in knowing if you consider that a good or
bad
Word habit.

My sections are formatted to .5" top and bottom. Both sections have the
same header, both sections have page numbers at the bottom.

In Section 1, the Footnote Separator bar hits at about 8 7/8" on the
ruler.
The footnote area of Section 1 includes 2 footnotes using 3 lines of text
in
total.

In Section 2 the Footnote Separator bar hits at about 9.5" on the ruler.
The footnote area of Section 2 is one footnote (one line of text).

My issue is with Section 1, I'd like the Section 1 Footnote Separator bar
to
hit further down the page.

Finally, I did monkey with the FormatParagraphExactly command, but
apparently not correctly.

Thanks for reading.
Turck

How do I nudge footnotes further down the page? I want to fit more
content
on the page. However the footnote is forcing text from the document
to
the
next page.

While at the same time there appears white space beneath the
footnotes.

Thank you.
