Default extra paragraph breaks in Word 2007 that are not there in Word 200

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.

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.

Suzanne,

Bingo! Thanks so much. Somewhere back in my dim (and growing dimmer)

it. Thanks,

Default extra paragraph breaks in Word 2007 that are not there in Word 200

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 .

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.

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.

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.

(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.
