Removing line break and indentation between footnote number and footnote text in Word
I cannot get rid of a line break and indentation between footnote number and footnote text in Word. I have been playing a couple of hours with styles but not reached solution. Suggestions are very much appreciated. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 02-07-2020 at 02:42 PM. Reason: Mark as solved |

That is not how footnotes are formatted using Word's defaults. Evidently someone has changed something.
Without actually seeing the problem document, though, it can be difficult for anyone to diagnose the issue. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

a file attached
I attach to this message a part of the file I am in trouble with. Thank you for looking into. As you will see, in all footnotes a footnote number is followed by a line break and indentation that is not something I wish to keep.

This is not the product off Word's footnote feature. It was created by another program or by editing footnotes after they were entered.
If I were editing this I would recreate each footnote using the Insert Footnote feature. |

The simplest solution in this case would be to copy the text of the footnote, delete the footnote reference in the document body, insert a new one, then paste the copied content into the new footnote.
