Footnote

[michele]

Hi, I want to know if is all ok when I insert a note and it doesn't finish
in the same page that I've inserted because when It continues in the next
page, Word uses differe line to mark note zone (First is short but the other
one is longer).
THANKS

It is normal for the footnote separator (the first) to be shorter
than the footnote continuation separator (the other one). You
can change the length of one or the other or both as described in
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP051862361033.aspx
"Change or remove a footnote or endnote separator".

Yes, the difference in the lines is normal. The short line is called the
"footnote separator" and the long one is called the "footnote continuation
separator".

To edit them, first go to Normal view. Click View > Footnotes to open a
separate pane at the bottom of the window. In the top bar of the pane, set
the dropdown to the item you want to edit. You can delete either line,
replace one with a copy of the other, or change the style or font to make
the line thicker or thinner. You could even use other characters instead of
lines.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FootnoteOnDiffPage.htm for info
about keeping the footnote on one page.

Thanks, it's very simple
