Word inserting excess blank space in footnotes
Hi all,
I'm trying to iron out formatting kinks in a 200-page academic text. Normal formatting is a short separator followed by footnotes (default), which usually works fine. However, every 10 pages or so, there's a whole-line separator high up the page, with about 25 lines of blank space below it before the footnotes start. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get rid of this excess blank space. Any ideas? Thanks, fleepish |

Word inserting excess blank space in footnotes
The "whole line separator" would be the Footnote Continuation Separator, and
from your description it would appear to have acquired some undesirable formatting. Switch to Normal view and View | Footnotes. On the toolbar, click the button beside All Footnotes and choose Footnote Continuation Separator. If you have nonprinting characters displayed, you may see a string of paragraph marks (empty paragraphs), which you can delete. If it's not that simple, right-click and choose Paragraph... and see if there is any Space Below in the paragraph formatting; if so, remove it. Or you can probably get around all this by just clicking the Reset button. -- Suzanne S.
