Perfect! Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!

(I am just curious as to how one does a thing i.e. how does one "add an extra paragraph break to the footnote separator"? I don't think I could do that if I tried. It happened when my colleague was working with the file, and I would be quite interested to understand so I can explain to him how to avoid doing so in the future.)

Your colleague most likely accessed the Footnote Separator as described above and pressed the <Enter> key.

Ok, many thanks. I would be surprised if that happened, as he only works in Print layout mode. But I suppose inadvertently something like that could have happened. Anyhow now it is fixed, and we know how to fix it in the future as well. That is the main thing.
