In Word '07, how do you change the footnote separator?
In previous versions of Word, if you went to view, normal view, view
footnotes, you could alter the footnote separator. The "Chicago Manual of Style," 15th ed. requires no separator for footnotes on the same page, and a short separator for continuing footnotes. I can't figure out how to do this in Word 2007. |

In Word '07, how do you change the footnote separator?
In Draft View (what used to be called Normal View) click on "Show Notes" on
the References tab on the Ribbon to open the Footnotes Pane (assuming you have footnotes in the document) - it is just as before and you can edit the separator there. -- Enjoy, Tony "Doejusa" schreef in bericht ...

In Word '07, how do you change the footnote separator?
When you have selected the Footnote Separator (in the dropdown list) as the
item to view, just select the separator and press Delete. And yes, this setting should be saved in your template. -- Suzanne S.

As an aside, it makes no sense for this functionality to be hidden under
"Draft" mode. The only time you make changes to the footnote separator is when you are tweaking the appearance of a final or near-final document. This should be available under Page Layout view.

In Word '07, how do you change the footnote separator?
This is actually legacy behavior. The footnote pane is displayed only in
Normal/Draft mode because in Print Layout mode you see the footnotes at the bottom of the page. -- Suzanne S.

In Word '07, how do you change the footnote separator?
Why can't I just point at the footnote separator in Page Layout and bring up
the footnote pane to change it? that seems like the most intuitive way to o this. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This is actually legacy behavior.

I agree that this would make sense. Perhaps you should post this as a
suggestion (not that suggestions ever get read AFAICS). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Fred" wrote in message ...

FWIW, I passed this up the line to one of the Word Product Group at MS, and
he agreed that this was something that should be done--perhaps by right-click rather than double-click (as I had suggested to him). Don't look to see it in the next version, however. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you so much for asking this question.. I was struggling with the same
thing! "Doejusa" wrote: In previous versions of Word, if you went to view, normal view, view footnotes, you could alter the footnote separator.
