Do you have nonprinting marks displayed (you can use Ctrl+Shift+8 as a toggle)?
Excessive paragraph marks will be shown as pilcrows (¶).

Hi Stefan,

When I view the footnote in draft mode, there are no extra returns. What
else can I try?

Switch to Draft view. On the References tab, click Show Notes. In the
Footnotes
pane, choose to display the Footnote Separator. Delete the excessive
paragraph
marks.

When I insert a footnote, Word adds two paragraph returns above the
footnote
text. I see a short horizontal rule, two returns, and then my text. I am
unable to select the unwanted returns - and the horizontal rule for that
matter. I am using Word 7. I'll appreciate any help on this!
