Footnote Separator Problem
On a few pages of my dissertation, a Word 2007 .doc, the footnote
separator prints as a thick line, instead of the thin line that prints on all the other pages. I've tried resetting, and applying a different style, with no effect. It's always the same pages. They don't have any obvious (to me) common features I'm at a complete loss, and hope someone can help. |

Footnote Separator Problem
This is definitely the footnote separator and not, say, the footnote
continuation separator? I can understand that it might be different. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm, for whatever good it may do. -- Suzanne S.

It is as if it's printing underlined or bold, for no apparent reason. Also, I have made a mistake about the version of word, it is in fact Word 2002 (well and truly out of warranty). |

Footnote Separator Problem
If you want to email me the document (or a portion of it exhibiting the
problem), I'll take a look. Be sure to include a description of the problem and a note of which pages it occurs on. -- Suzanne S.

Footnote Separator Problem
I looked at Heather's document, and it appeared to me that the Footnote
Continuation Separator was the problem. I did not see a thicker or heavier line, but I did see extra space below the separator, as an extra, empty paragraph had been (no doubt inadvertently) added below the Footnote Continuation Separator. Since the FCS had been edited to be the same as the Footnote Separator, it was not immediately obvious that the problem was with only one kind of separator. Although the font of the document had been changed to Courier New 10, the Normal style had not been modified; it was still Times New Roman 12, so the extra, empty paragraph was TNR 12; this may have influenced the display or printing of the separator. It also appears that a blank Footnote Continuation Notice is appearing on pages from which footnotes are continued. In my experience, if a FCN has ever been created, it is impossible to remove it, but it could be formatted as 1 point (instead of the default TNR 12) to make it as unobtrusive as possible. -- Suzanne S.
