converting endnotes to footnotes ruins me

Dear all,

I am having a miserable time formatting my
dissertation...and I've spent a few hours trying to fix
this various ways before caving and asking for help...

Basically, I took all my footnotes and converted them to
endnotes so that I might highlight and format them all
similarly (same font, same size, etc).  Then I converted
them back to footnotes.  And then I was doomed.  Please
see the following URLs for screenshots of my seemingly
hopeless problem.

For some reason, the text of my dissertation doesn't fill
up the entire page on pages where a footnote occurs.  The
text generally only occupies half a page, when an endnote
is involved.  It's so bizarre.  I've revealed codes, I've
made sure there are no page breaks, I have tried
adjusting the Footnote and the Body styles...I am
seriously at the end of my rope.  I have got to get this
fixed.  I have even tried copying the text into a new
document, and then adding footnotes, and it does the same
thing.  My dissertation is over 200 pages and so I can't
really start over or anything with these footnotes.  

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  I would
be willing to try anything to get this fixed.

Hi CJ,

Not sure, but from the screen shots, it looks like your footnote separator
might have a large "space after".

In "Normal view", double-click on a footnote, or choose "View > Footnotes".
In the Footnotes pane, choose "Footnotes > Footnotes separator" in the
dropdown.
Then, with the cursor in the separator,  look if you see something weird
about the paragraph formatting ("Format > Paragraph > Spacing > After").

Greetings,
Klaus

Occasionally the Footnote Separator acquires some style other than Normal,
too, or if Normal is modified, this will affect the Footnote Separator.
