Space for footnote too large after customizing styles 2

[thanos54321]

Hi, you guys are my last hope, I've been trying to do a basic style setup that I want to use for several documents, such as headers, some captions, etc.

Now, once I'm done with it all, I tried inserting a footnote at the end of the page. Between the footer and the footnote is about 1 cm, AND above the footnote is about 2 cm to the horisontal line seperating text from footnotes. This doesn't usually happen when I don't do the fancy style setup. I don't know, I guess I must have screwed something up, but I can't find anywhere to change the extra spacing the footnote area can take up. Help? Any help will be much appreciated.

Btw, if I look at all the paragraph symbols (the show all button with the weird inverted P-like symbol), it looks like there is a paragraph above my footnotes, below the footnote seperation line, but I can't delete it...

What have you tried to delete the symbol?

Sometimes Cut works where Delete doesn't.

The problem is, I can't access that symbol. It's really weird. It does it every time I insert a footnote on a new page (in that document, that is).

Hi thanos,

you guys are my last hope

Let's hope we can help then


It rather sounds like you have a style applied to the Footnote Separator.

View > Normal (to make sure you're seeing the right stuff)
View > Footnotes (to see the footnotes!)
In the dropdown at the top of the Footnotes Pane it probably says All FootNotes - click on the dropdown arrow and select Footnote Separator
Now you can edit the separator to what you want or click Reset to set it back to the default

Enjoy,
Tony

Ah, so simple, yet I had no idea...

Thanks a bunch for your contributions! It was, of course, this that was the problem...
