Default how i can get rid of space between footnotes?

For some reason between do footnotes, a blank, single line space has appeared
that won't go just be using back space, as usual. I've also tried
high-lighting the area clicking single-line spacing, under the paragraph
function. Any ideas of how to get rid of it?

Remove any Spacing Before or After from the Footnote Text paragraph style.

Stefan,

I'm having the same problem in W2007 and is probably due to cut/pasting in
the footnote area (I know, that's a "no-no"). I don't understand your
suggestion: where is Footnote Text Paragraph Style?

I've been researching the archives for solving this problem: copying the
page to a blank one doesn't work and I cannot see any paragraph separators in
the blank footnote lines. Any help would be appreciated as I have a paper to
submit shortly.

For a start, right-click in the footnote and choose Paragraph... If the
paragraph has any spacing before or after, reduce it to 0. Click OK. Then
right-click in the modified footnote paragraph and choose Update Footnote
Text style to Match Selection.

That helped most of them, Suzanne. When I also changed the Line Spacing in
the Paragraph tab from Multiple to Single, all of my extra spaces vanished.
Thanks!

Default get rid of extra spaces in footnotes

You can always highlight the line and change the font size to 1 - this virtually eliminates the line.

Default Success!!!

When troubleshooting these issues, it's always a good idea to display
nonprinting marks; you can use Ctrl+Shift+8 as a toggle. Paragraph marks will
display as pilcrows (¶).

If there are blank paragraphs present, you should be able to delete them.
Sometimes you have to use backspace rather than delete (Word is a bit particular
about paragraph marks inside footnotes).

On the other hand, if the line spacing or spacing before/after is the culprit,
clear it manually via the Paragraph dialog box (select footnote text first), or
modify the Footnote Text paragraph style.
