(References | Show Notes in Word 2007). On the toolbar in the footnote pane, there is a list box. Select Footnote Separator.

Footnote Separator Line
This is useful, thank you. I have a related problem: additional lines keep
popping up after the separator line -- I have no idea why. Would you know, and how to prevent it? "Suzanne S.

I have the problem that the empty lines below the footnote separator keep
creating themselves... Why, and how do I avoid them? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: In Normal view (Draft view in Word 2007), choose View | Footnotes (References | Show Notes in Word 2007).

The most common cause of this is that Spacing After has been added to Normal
style (which the separators use). Alternatively, if there are actually extra empty paragraphs, then you may have pressed Enter while you were editing the separator. -- Suzanne S.

Footnote Separator Line
I once had a book-length document that kept adding empty paragraphs to
the Footnote Separator. Every so often I had to open it up and delete them. It's never happened in any other document, and the only unusual thing about it was that there was a lot of Hebrew in the footnotes (but not in the text). Fortunately, it didn't automatically happen every time the document was opened, and the production pdf could be successfully produced. (Yeah, that was a publisher who made camera- ready copy in Word.) On Feb 10, 9:38*am, "Suzanne S.

Footnote Separator Line
I am currently also writing a book that is currently 421 pages long. From
time to time I get the number 421421 printed at about the point were a footnote separator should be. (When the book was shorter it would insert whatever the total numbe of pages where - twice over.) Originally it replaced the footnote separator on the second page when a footnote spilled over so I spent considerable time rearranging the pages to avoid the spill over. However now they often appear regardless of whether there is a footnote or footnote spill over or not. This document was originally started in .doc format and I found that by changing to .docx format most of these numbers would disappear (but not all). However unfortunately this change resulted in my many graphs being spoilt - an even worse problem (!) so I would prefer to stay in the .doc mode. My current software is Word 2007. I cannot find Footnotes (references) in the view tab as suggested earlier. I would be very pleased to hear from someone who has come across this problem and found an answer to it.
