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
- On the View menu, click Normal.
- On the View menu, click Footnotes.
- 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.
- Select the separator and delete it.
Word for the Macintosh, version 5.0
- On the Insert menu, click Footnote.
- Click Separator.
- 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
- On the Insert Menu, click Footnote.
- Click Options.
- Click Separator.
- Select the separator line with the mouse, with the insertion point positioned before the separator line.
- Once the separator is selected, press the SPACEBAR once (to replace the separator with a space).
- 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.
