Apologies if this turns out to be a duplicate posting ... my previous post
appears to have failed.

When I have paragraph numbering turned on, Word insists on assigning a
paragraph number to my footnotes as well as a footnote number. I can manually
delete the paragraph number, but would prefer to turn off the option.

More important, however, is that Word also assigns a paragraph number to the
line drawn across the page above the footnotes, and I cannot find a way to
remove this.

Can somebody offer me a suggestion on what to do?
