I got a different vertical position when the footnotes pushed the separator higher so I thought it would work. It does depend on which page your footnote separator appears on.

That's what I expected: a different vertical position when the footnotes push the separator higher. What do you mean when you say that it depends on which page the footnote separator appears on. I have tried the code on two different *.docx and I got the same value on every page, though different in the two *.docx.
