2007 footnote crazy spacing issue - TIME SENSITIVE

[Molly]

I am in Word 2007 and am tryng to insert footnotes. However, giant spaces
are being automatically inserted.

I have already set it at "bottom of page" and deleted extra spaces. Can
anyone help? I have a document due today!!!!

Thanks,
Molly

Make sure that the Footnote Text style doesn't have extra Space Before/After
(this is unlikely but could result from your having modified Normal style).
If the problem is only at the beginning of the footnote space, the problem
could be that the separator has acquired extra empty paragraphs; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NoteSeparators.htm. To troubleshoot any
issue of this type, displaying nonprinting characters (and text boundaries)
is a good start.

See also http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm for some factors
that might be related.
