From: Myles OB Myles on 28 May 2010 04:27 How do I correct the left indent on the line that separates my footnotes from the main text? When I brought all my text (body and footnotes) in by a couple of cms, this line remained where it was. Now it's jutting out from the rest of the doc. Thanks
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 28 May 2010 05:51 Change to Draft View and then on the Reference tab of the ribbon, click on the Show Notes button in the Footnotes section of the ribbon and in the top border of the Footnotes pane that appears at the bottom of the screen, select Footnote Separator from the drop down list and modify the left indent of the paragraph in which the separator appears. If you are using Word 97 - 2003, after switching to the Draft View, select Footnotes from the View menu to access the Footnotes pane. -- Hope this helps.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 28 May 2010 07:12 Note, however, that this effect is usually the result of modifying the Normal style to have an indent. This is why I caution against modifying Normal style (use Body Text instead; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NormalVsBodyStyles.htm) because most of Word's built-in styles are based on Normal. -- Suzanne S.

Maybe I jumped the gun there, Doug! A small problem remains: almost all of the footnote separators are aligned now, except where a footnote has run from one page onto the next. In all such occurrences, the separator continues to jut out, but when I repeat the steps you outlined, the screen shows it as if it is aligned. Does this make sense?
