Hi. In addition to the footnote separator line, I also have a thinner white line (from margin to margin) on top of each footnote. I’ve checked to see if there are any paragraph rules set and there are none. If I remove the footnote separator line at the dialog box, that line will go away but this thinner white line will not. I’ve also made sure the rule above continued footnotes (even though they are not continued) is not checked. If I change the color of the footnote text, this line stays white. I’ve run into this problem before and can’t for the life of me remember to fix it.
LOL! Sometimes things so simple becomes complex as we’re intent to think within the box. @Christy, I’m not pointing on you, but I have seen people in my team as well, who struggle for the simple things. On the other hand, I appreciate that you work in Normal view mode instead of Preview mode, because that’s what professionals do.
