SUMMARY
This article describes how to remove the separator from a footnote or endnote in Microsoft Word.



MORE INFORMATION
Use the method appropriate for your version of Word.

Microsoft Word 6.x, 7.x, 98 Macintosh Edition

 * 1) On the View menu, click Normal.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Footnotes.
 * 3) In the Footnotes pane, click the down arrow next to All Footnotes or All Endnotes, and select Footnote Separator or Endnote Separator. The separator appears.
 * 4) Select the separator and delete it.

Word for the Macintosh, version 5.0

 * 1) On the Insert menu, click Footnote.
 * 2) Click Separator.
 * 3) Select the separator and delete it.

Word for the Macintosh, version 4.0
To remove the footnote separator (or footnote continuation separator) from a Word 4.0 document, you must replace it with at least one character (for example, a space).

This restriction exists to prevent problems with empty text areas in Page View.

Word for Windows, versions 1.0 and 2.0

 * 1) On the Insert Menu, click Footnote.
 * 2) Click Options.
 * 3) Click Separator.
 * 4) Select the separator line with the mouse, with the insertion point positioned before the separator line.
 * 5) Once the separator is selected, press the SPACEBAR once (to replace the separator with a space).
 * 6) Click Close.

To avoid an extra blank line between the text and the footnotes, format the remaining paragraph in the footnote separator window for -1 point line spacing.
