Are you saying that the space is above the Footnote Separator? This can be
normal, depending on how the page breaks (see
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/BottomLine.htm), but it's also possible
that the Footnote Separator has gone berserk. Switch to Normal view, and
then select View | Foootnotes. On the toolbar of the footnote pane, click
the arrow in the list box and select Footnote Separator. Examine the
paragraph formatting of the separator (which should be in Normal style) to
make sure that no Space Before has been added, or if there is a lot of space
unaccounted for by paragraph formatting, make sure there aren't empty
paragraphs or anything else to account for it). Clicking Reset or pressing
Ctrl+Q should straighten it out if the style has gotten messed up.
