Change the view back Print Layout ( View tab > Print Layout).Click the X at the far right of the Footnotes mini window to close it.Place your cursor at the end of separator line, then press Delete to remove the empty paragraph below.Now you can see the separator and the empty paragraph:.Change the Footnotes setting from All Footnotes to Footnote Separator.You can achieve this by using the non-breaking space characters with in the p tags. A mini Footnotes window opens at the bottom of the page: So, the first method to add the space between two paragraphs would be to add a new empty paragraph between them.Once you’re in Draft view, go to the References tab then click Show Notes.You must be in Draft view to do this ( View tab > Draft).You must have at least one footnote in your document before you can do the steps below.You can’t get rid of the the empty paragraph using normal deletion methods either. Change it to 'Left' justified (the most common) as a test and see what happens.
On 'Justified', the document tries to align both left and right sides by adjusting the spacing between words automatically. Options are Left, Right, Center, or Justified. It’s that empty paragraph that annoys a lot of people - it just adds unwanted space in front of the page’s footnotes, when there’s already a visual separator in the partial line. Check your justification settings under Format-> Align. The footnote separator line and the empty paragraph are styled as ‘Normal’, so if you’ve adjusted the paragraph spacing (leading) above and/or below in the style, you may get way more space than you need, as shown in the screenshot below. When you insert a footnote in Word ( References tab > Insert Footnote), by default it gets added to the bottom of the page along with a short line and an empty paragraph to separate it from the body of the text.
