Hi,

How do I remove the large space that appears between footnotes and the
bottom of the page in Word?

Graeme.

Set the footnotes to "Bottom of page" instead of "Below text"?

Default Spaces after footnotes

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your suggestion. I already had the footnotes set to Bottom of
page. I fiddled with the bottom page margin and that helped. I checked the
footer and it does not appear to be overlapping with the white space. I still
however have a white space of about 1-1.5 lines which should not be there
given the margin setting.

Graeme.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm, but if the space is
actually below the footnotes and not above, then the article may not help,
as it sounds as if something else is going wrong.

Don't know all that you've explored, but if there is anything in the footer
area, make sure that the footer spacing (From edge: Footer) in Page Setup -
Layout tab is not set larger than needed.

The other setting that might be giving you too much space is if the
footnote's paragraph After spacing is set too high (Format - Paragraph -
After), or if the line spacing has a multiple setting (Format - Paragraph -
Line spacing).

Thanks Herb. Just to be sure, I went through the procedures you gave but
they're all normal. The blank space appeared while I was working on the
format of the tables in my document. The spacing kept increasing. Thanks in
advance.

The more I hear, the more I think the document may be corrupt; see
