Footnote

[Simon Minder]

Hi all,

I have a document in Word 2003 SP2, which includes footnotes.

In the "Style and Formatting" panel I set the "Normal" style for the
document to have after the paragraph 11pt space (Format - Styles and
Formatting... - "Normal" - Modify - Format - Paragraph - "Spacing - After:
11pt").

As soon as I have changed these settings I get a 11pt space between the line
of the footnotes and the text of the foodnote.

How can I keep the settings to have 11pt after a paragraph with the sytle
"normal" and do not get the space between the footnote line and text?

Kind regards,

Simon Minder

Hi Simon,

Switch to Normal view. Choose View | Footnotes. The Footnotes pane opens.
Select Footnote Separator in the list at the top. Choose Format |
Paragraph... to change the paragraph format.

Good luck,
Cooz

Hi Cooz

Thank you very much for your quick feedback.

I tried the same thing already. If I change the paragraph settings for the
Footnote Separator the paragraph settings for the text/document are been
changed automatically as well.

This is because (a) the footnote separator has the Normal style
applied, and (b) the Normal style is set to automatically update. To
fix (b), you can take a look at

Note also that this is one reason why it is better not to modify Normal
style in this way. See
