I guess you are referring to the Footnote Continuation Separator? That option is still available for backward compatibility. If you save the document in an older format, such as *.doc, the chosen setting for Footnote Continuation Separator will be used in the document.
What is still supported in the most recent *.docx format is to use the Footnote Continuation Notice. Of course, although it has a related function, it won't display in the same location as that of the Footnote Continuation Separator.
