From: Beth Obenshain on 5 May 2010 09:48 When I insert a footnote, Word adds two paragraph returns above the footnote text. I see a short horizontal rule, two returns, and then my text. I am unable to select the unwanted returns - and the horizontal rule for that matter. I am using Word 7. I'll appreciate any help on this!
From: Stefan Blom on 5 May 2010 10:10 Switch to Draft view. On the References tab, click Show Notes. In the Footnotes pane, choose to display the Footnote Separator. Delete the excessive paragraph marks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Beth Obenshain" <BethObenshain(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:52E00B85-8A55-41A3-BD37-9B8F33F8B32C(a)microsoft.com... > When I insert a footnote, Word adds two paragraph returns above the footnote > text.

From: Beth Obenshain on 5 May 2010 13:38 Hi Stefan, When I view the footnote in draft mode, there are no extra returns. What else can I try? "Stefan Blom" wrote: > Switch to Draft view.

From: Stefan Blom on 5 May 2010 13:50 Do you have nonprinting marks displayed (you can use Ctrl+Shift+8 as a toggle)? Excessive paragraph marks will be shown as pilcrows (�). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Beth Obenshain" <BethObenshain(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7C07B654-7400-47A5-A121-0F5E2A057D41(a)microsoft.com... > Hi Stefan, > > When I view the footnote in draft mode, there are no extra returns.
