In Normal view, go to View | Footnotes. On the toolbar of the Footnote pane
there is a dropdown list box. Choose Footnote Separator or Footnote
Continuation Separator. You can't actually change the line, but you can
delete it and substitute something else (you can also copy/paste it if you
want a longer line).
