First, I clicked on Help to find out how to change the automatic update. I saw no way to type in a question. That was really helpful. I didn't find it by clicking on the styles down arrow.
This is very weird. Some paragraphs that should be double are single. It seems random. Footnoes that should be single are mostly double and have huge spaces betwen them. That's all wrong. There should be one blank line. I tried to change the footnote text style. I tried to make it based on Endnote Text instead of Normal, as that is wrong. Nothing I did helped.I am attaching a small chunk of my paper. That's the last time I upgrade MS Office. The programmers should never have let this happen. I was a programmer a lot of years and I am wondering what, if any, testing was done of this feature..

I am attaching a small excerpt that shows these problems, as well as the big gap between the separator line and the first note on any page. Thanks for any advice. I am not an expert in this area (if only it was in Java, I could fix it. So I would appreciate a detailed explanation. I've already done a web search. I did find a page on how to fix the separator line but it did not say how to adjust the space between it and the footnotes. I'm not sure why attachments can't be in.rtf format. That would eliminate a lot of nasty macros I could insert.
