How do I decrease the space above the footnote separator?
Word 2000: Sometimes the space above the footnote separator is used with
text. But in most cases there is free space, which could be used for additional text lines, which are put unfortunately on the next page. The text at the end of one page and the text at the beginning at the other refers to the same paragraph: Indents and spacing are 0; Problem with and without orphan control; all other check boxes of the "line and page breaks" tab are not marked. Paragraph spacing before and after footnotes and separator are 0. Can you help me, please? |

How do I decrease the space above the footnote separator?
Make sure that the footnote separator doesn't include any empty
paragraphs; turn on the display of nonprinting characters to find out (if you need instructions, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm). Also, make sure that the Footnote Text paragraph style doesn't include formatting such as "Keep lines together", which could cause a lot of white space in the body text paragraphs. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Simon" wrote in message ...

How do I decrease the space above the footnote separator?
In addition to Stefan's advice, these two links spell out what is going on
and what you can do to try to adjust it. Word handles footnote placement in the background and you can't control it directly, but you can experiment with settings to encourage Word to handle it in a way you prefer. http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm Footnote on Wrong Page http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...OnDiffPage.htm On 11/8/05 4:05 AM, "Simon" wrote: Word 2000: Sometimes the space above the footnote separator is used with text.

How do I decrease the space above the footnote separator?
The footnote in my case has an empty paragraph before the footnote text,
creating the extra white space. It's greyed out, so I cannot get at it to delete it. How do I get rid of it?

How do I decrease the space above the footnote separator?
Is the white space part of the separator or is it in the document itself? If
it is part of the separator, switch to Normal view, choose View | Footnotes, select Footnote Separator from the dropdown on the toolbar, and delete the extra paragraph. -- Suzanne S.
