how can I erase the paragraph mark in a footnote?

[Nehra]

I erased the text of a footnote both in the main section of the document and
the footnote. However, the paragraph mark is still there along with the
footnote marker line. Since there is no note reference in the document, I
can't erase it -- at least by the Help instructions. Is there anyway to get
rid of this?

Thank you!

In the body of the document, try selecting the entire paragraph which
used to contain the footnote reference, cut and paste it into a
NotePad document. Does that remove the footnote area? If so, copy the
text from NotePad back into the document.

If the above fails, the following should work: Place the cursor inside
the footnote. Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor. Press
Ctrl+G to display the Immediate Window. In that window, type

Selection.Footnotes(1).Delete

and press Enter. Close the Visual Basic Editor.
