Switch to Normal view. On the View menu, click Footnotes. In the
Footnote pane, choose the "Footnote separator" item. Delete the excess
paragraph marks. Close the Footnote pane.

Thank you for the reply; but the blank area appears between the
borderline
(between text and footnotes) and the footnotes itself. The area is
created by
a series of 'hidden' paragraph signs (i.e. paragraph signs in grey,
that
means not editable), so that I cannot delete them. The space (half a
page)
could easily be filled with text from the next page, but that is not
the case.
Best regards
Martin

Dear experts,
in a given document wit Word-foonotes, how can I shift these
footnotes to
the appropriate page, when I alter the pagination? Some of these
footnotes
seem to be fixed to a certain page, and large areas of blank
paper appear,
so
that the referenced passage in the text remain on a certain page
and thus
the
footnotes stick to their original page.
Thank you
Martin
