Hello Donna,
See below.
Thanks for responding so quickly.
The style specification for footnote reads as follows:
Normal + Font: 11pt, Font color: Dark Blue, Line spacing :1.5 lines, Space
After: 6 pt, No widow/orphan control, Allow hanging punctuation, Font
Alignment: Auto, Adjust space between Latin and Asian text, Adjust space
between Asian text
Fine.
The space is all at the top of the footnote - when I put in two footnotes on
the same page, they line up one over the other and the same size space exists
above the footnotes - I am attaching a screen shot of the page with one
footnote.
The regulars here access the newsgroup with newsreading software rather than
using Microsoft's web page, so your screen shot did not come through. But no
probs -- I can imagine it now.
I also tried to use endnotes as an option and the same thing happened - only
with a larger space. I did look at it on a PC with reveal codes (or something
like that) and saw a series of returns which I could not remove.
You can reveal the invisibles in Word on the Mac by keying Command-8 or
clicking the "backwards P" (pilcrow) if you see it on one of the toolbars.
But that should not be necessary. I think your problem is that the wrong
style has become associated with your footnote separator, i.e. the
horizontal line. So try this:
1. In Normal view, in the body text, click on a footnote reference number to
reveal the footnotes area at the bottom of the window.
2. Pop down "All footnotes" and let go at "Footnote separator".
3. If you have a styles pop-down in your toolbar at the top of the page,
change it to "Normal" (or do the same via the Format ==> Style menu).
That should change the spacing to (presumably, if that's what your Normal
style has) 12 points before.
The first time I did insert the footnotes it worked properly, it was only
after some editing that it changed.
Which makes me think the above will work. ;-)
thank you
Donna
( I responded by email - but thought i should post it here in case someone
else has a similar problem)
My e-mail address is highly obfuscated and in any event leads to a spam trap
(one of life's necessities when your voluntary activities are in close
proximity to Microsoft). And right now my ISP is trashing all e-mail to that
address anyway. :-(
But you've hit the nail on the head: we only communicate via this newsgroup
because of the other people who will have the same problem.
Do let us know if the above fixes your problem!
