That is the Footnote Continuation Separator, which indicates that the first
footnote is a partial one carried over from the previous page. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Elaine" wrote in message ...

Although I don't advise it, yes, you can do that. How you access it depends
on your version of Word, but in the Footnotes pane (accessible only from Normal/Draft view), choose Footnote Separator in the dropdown. Select the separator and Ctrl+C to copy. Then choose Footnote Continuation Separator, select the separator, and Ctrl+V to paste. Close the pane. But the continuation separator is intentionally differentiated as an aid to the reader. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
I use WORD 2007. I have a document with 10 chapters. Each chapter has a set of footnotes. I want to delete the horizontal line associated with all the footnotes at the end of each chapter. What is the step-by-step procedure for doing this? Thanks, Al "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Although I don't advise it, yes, you can do that.

One of the disadvantages of having Word designed by people who don't
actually make books or scholarly documents is that they don't understand endnotes (which are what you are using, as opposed to footnotes). Consequently, the Endnote Separator and Endnote Continuation Separator are identical to the Footnote Separator and Footnote Continuation Separator, even though in most cases you don't want any separators at all for endnotes. There are two approaches you can take: 1. You can't entirely get rid of the separators, but you can minimize their impact. a. In Draft view, select the References tab and click Show Notes. This will display the endnote pane with the described dropdown. b. Choose Endnote Separator. c. Select the separator and delete it. d. Select the remaining empty paragraph and format the font as 1 point and/or the paragraph line spacing as 1 point. The paragraph will still be there, but it will be virtually invisible. e. Repeat for the Endnote Continuation Separator if any of your chapters will have more than one page of notes. 2. You can use the separators for your own purposes. Using the same procedure as above, you can substitute the Word "Notes" for the existing separator line. Similarly, you can substitute "Notes (continued)" for the continuation separator. It may occur to you that you would like the notes to start on a new page. Alas! though you might think that you could format the Endnote Separator as "Page break before," I believe I have found that this doesn't work, probably because of the virtual nature of the notes and their interaction with section breaks. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thank you for helping me to understand changing the footnote separator. My situation is similar to Elaine's, but I want the extended Footnote Continuation Separator that's just about five characters shorter than the one supplied. The reason is with indented footnotes (Turabian), the Footnote Continuation Separator overshoots the right margin by about five characters. I temporarily fixed it by putting two of the Footnote Separator lines side-by-side in the Footnote Continuation Separator, but that's not long enough to extend to the right margin. How does one draw that line that is used for the Footnote (and Continuation) Separator?

Must the Change to Footnote Separator Be Re-Entered Each Time?
As I said, I found an interim way to modify the Footnote Continuation Separator, but I have an additional question.
Does MS Word (2007) not save the modified separator? I ask this because each time I open my master document I have to again modify the separator. Submitted via EggHeadCafe Excel Generate High Quality RoadMaps http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials...-roadmaps.aspx |

Even with indented footnotes, I don't think the separator should be
indented. But see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm You can modify a separator in a given document, but unless you modify it in the template you're using as the basis for the documents, you won't see the modified separator in new documents, nor will the change be reflected in existing documents even if you modify it in the template. -- Suzanne S.
