Footnote: Reduce blank space below it
Hi
On all pages in my thesis I have a footer. On many pages above the footer I have inserted a footnotes. No matter the amount of text in the footnote there is always a couple of lines of blank space below it and above the footer. I'l like to reduce this blank space below the footnote and above the footer. Several of you have posted very helpful comments about goinf into normal view, view footnotes and selecting the separator but this does not help with the blank space after the footnote. Any suggestions and thanks for your help in this formum Warm regards/gary |

Footnote: Reduce blank space below it
Check if the Footnote Text paragraph style is defined with Spacing Below. If
it does, you can set the value to zero. Another thing to consider: If you press Ctrl+Shift+8 to display nonprinting marks, do you see any undesired contents, such as empty paragraph marks (¶), in the footnote area? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "gary" wrote in message ...

Footnote: Reduce blank space below it
Hi Stefan
Thanks for your reply: 1. I do not have any "space after" in the style paragraph setting 2. I have a paragraph mark after the table in the footnote. How do I delete the paragraph mark?

Footnote: Reduce blank space below it
Hi Bob
Thanks for your suggestions. Interestingly, when I do that the actual footnote does not move further down the page closer to the footer area. So there must be another settings which controls the space between the footnote and the footer. Warm regards/gary "CyberTaz" wrote: Hello Gary - The table in the footnote is the culprit:-)... *all* tables in a Word doc are followed by a ¶ which *cannot* be removed. However you can try either of at least two things to ease the issue: 1- Select the ¶ and change the font size to 1 pt., or 2- Select the ¶ and use Format Font - Hidden which will cause it to not display unless non-printing characters are on.

Footnote: Reduce blank space below it
In the Footnote and Endnote Options dialog box, make sure that the
"Location" (for footnotes) is set to "Bottom of page" instead of "Below text." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "gary" wrote in message ... Hi Bob Thanks for your suggestions.
