====== Word footnotes have undeletable extra lines  ======
====== Word Fussnoten haben nicht löschbare leere Linien ======


Possible solutions: 
  * Try to copy the entire file to the clipboard, minus the last paragraph sign. Paste to a new empty file. 

  * In NORMAL VIEW (NOT Print Layout view), VIEW>FOOTNOTE and select FOOTNOTE SEPARATOR from drop down list. Now you can edit the separator. You'll probably see some blank lines before and/or after the little horizontal separator line itself. Delete those and close and go back to Print Layout view and the extra white space should be gone. Found answer deep in a MS site. No documentation anywhere else. Tried everything mentioned above in frustration.

    * Make sure that the footnote separator doesn't include any empty
paragraphs; turn on the display of nonprinting characters to find out
(if you need instructions, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm). Also, make
sure that the Footnote Text paragraph style doesn't include formatting
such as "Keep lines together", which could cause a lot of white space
in the body text paragraphs.

In Word 2007:
  * Start Formattierzeichen anzeigen (verkehrtes |P)
  * Ansicht-Entwurf
  * Verweise-Notizen anzeigen
  * In der Fussnotenansicht in folgenden Dropdowns die überzähligen Paragraphenzeichen löschen
    * Fussnotentrennlinie
    * Fussnotenfortsetzungstrennlinie
