A book length manuscript has footnotes.  On each page, at the end of the text
a line is drawn half way across the page; this is good.  After the line WORD
2003 inserts 5 enter commands leaving an useless gap between the text and the
footnotes.  These enter commands can not be deleted when operating in the
standard writing modes.  They are shown in gray, rather than black.  If I
turn on 'view - headers and footers' the become black but still resist
deletion.  I need to know how to remove them.  They add extra space to the
manuscript that is of no use.

Sounds like they have become part of the Footnote Separator.  Reset it,
using the instructions at "5. Random Lines Appear" in:
