My apologies. Thank you for asking. I shall fix the thread title as well as the description in the first post. This thread is about a paragraph marker that has made its way in between the first footnote and the line separator which separates the footnotes from the general text of the page. On pages on which there is no footnote, all the formatting is perfect. On pages on which there are footnotes, there is a large paragraph marker which raises up the line separator, and even when I show all the paragraph markers, Word does not allow me to bring my curser to this paragraph marker and delete it.

The footers are fine. There is no problem with the footers.
