If you read that link and think you're stuck with it, then you need to read
it again. You are *not* stuck with it if you will just format the empty
paragraph as 1 point or (if necessary) Hidden.

Suzanne,

I've read the link and I am indeed stuck with it.

Thanks for your help,
Everett

That's an entirely different issue; Word must have a normal text
paragraph
(even if empty) after a table at the end of a document. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm. And if you don't have
any
footnotes or endnotes (header and footer are irrelevant here; we were
talking about footnotes), then Show Notes will be disabled.

Jay,

In my additional blan page problem, editing a 2003 doc in 2007, I have
a
paragrph symbol after a table. The table spans one page, the paragraph
rests
on the extra. Show Notes is disabled in draft view. No header or
footer.

Word 2007 works pretty much the same as Word 2003 in this respect. You
switch to
Draft view (formerly known as Normal view). On the References ribbon,
click the
Show Notes button to open the footnotes pane, and then the same
dropdown
is
available to choose Footnote Separator .

It sounds as if the paragraphs have been added to the Footnote
Separator.
You'll probably need to switch to Draft view, then open the Footnote
pane
(however you do that in Word 2007), select Footnote Separator on the
dropdown menu, and delete the extraneous paragraphs.

When I open a document created in Word 2003 in Word 2007 it (Word
2007)
adds
at least two, sometimes more, paragraph marks at the bottom of the
page
between the text and the footnotes, under the short horizontal line
that
appears at bottom of the text. I don't want this much space between
text
and
footnotes, but for the life of me cannot find how to adjust it,
since
the
paragraph marks are either greyed out or I cannot select them with
my
cursor.
I think this is a new default in Word 2007 which adds this
space--using
paragraph marks to reveal the space--but I don't know how to modify
them.
I created a long document (ok, a book, with fourteen chapters) in
Word
2003
when lighning hit my old machine and I had to upgrade to a new box,
and
with
it came Word 2007 (well I paid for it!). Now I am going back and
forth
between my old laptop--running Word 2003--and my new
computer--running
Word
2007, and I keep getting changes in the bottom of the page.
Help! I'm an old Word user going back to vers. 1 so I'm somewhat
familiar
with the offerings, but have never been very comfortable with
employing
styles, which I suspect is where the formatting is occurring.
