Hi all,

I'm using a template that I love for Word 2007, the only problem is that it places the LINE above footnotes way too high up on the page.

HOW CAN I DECIDE THE LOCATION OF THE FOOTNOTE LINE???

Anyone?

Please see the LAST page in the attached file.

REALLY appreciate good advice!!

Thanks,
ronhatl

Enable the display of nonprinting marks, for example by pressing the ¶ button on the Home tab. Switch to Draft view. On the References tab, click Show Notes. In the Footnotes pane, select "Footnote separator." You'll notice that there is an extra paragraph mark (¶) below the separator. Delete it. Then close the Footnote pane and return to Print Layout view.

Thanks Stefan,

That helped! A bit. Now there seems to be too much space below the footnotes... Please see attached file which is changed in accordance with your suggestions.

Any way I can reduce space BELOW footnotes as well, without raising the footer?

Still appreciate any help in this matter tremendously!

Regards,

You can work around this by deleting section breaks, copying the text (minus the final paragraph mark) and pasting into a new document. Then you would have to recreate the section breaks (and the section formatting) of course.

I haven't been able to figure out what is causing the issue, at least not yet. But I'll think about it a bit more... :-)
