MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2007Space in between Footnotes
I have a space tha I can<t delete. If I have no footnotes on the page, I get a separator and a blank line. If I have a f-note, then I get a blank line before the note is listed. I have looked atthe formatting of the footnotes, and the separator, but I cannot find a reason why this is there. One clue is that in the Normal-Footnotes view, where the notes are all in the footnote pane at the bottom, there is still this blank ine between the previous f-note (prev. page) and the new one. Any ideas? Are you sure the separator doesn't include any Space After or an empty paragraph?  SignatureSuzanne S.

(There is a paragraph symbol, but I am not allowed to delete it.) "This is not a valid action for footnotes." And it is only on this page and not any others with f-notes. > Are you sure the separator doesn't include any Space After or an empty > paragraph? [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Any ideas? Okay, this is a single page that is showing, as it were, a phantom footnote? Switch to Normal view and View | Footnotes. This will allow you to see all the footnotes together. Find the "empty" one, and try using Backspace in the empty paragraph or Delete at the end of the previous footnote. This will usually work. SignatureSuzanne S.

Place the insertion point in the footnote. Then run the following: Selection.Footnotes(1).Delete To run this command, first press Alt+F11. In the Visual Basic Editor, display the Immediate window (for example by pressing Ctrl+G). Type the command as shown above, and then press Enter.

Hey! Stefan! This worked in my phantom footnote. Thank you. How can I prevent this kind of ghost from haunting my documents? (Suzanne if you still want to see it, for future reference, I can send you the doc.)
