How do you elminate a wide space in Word from text and footnote?

[Guest]

I have a research paper with about 70 footnotes. Depending on how some of the
footnotes fall, there is an inconsistent gap between the text of the paper
and the footnotes on a page. Sometimes it is an inch, other times it might be
two inches. Is there any way to manually manipulate the distance between the
text and footnote on the pages so they are all consistent?

Switch to Normal view and then, on the View menu, click Footnotes. In
the Footnotes pane, choose the "Footnote Separator" item. Make sure
that it doesn't contain any blank paragraphs or that it has Spacing
Before or After applied (in Format>Paragraph, Indents and Spacing
tab). If this doesn't help, what you are seeing is probably normal.
For more information about factors affecting how much text there is
room for on a page, see
