Word footnotes have undeletable extra lines

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.
