How do I get rid of extra spaces in Footnotes?
When in Draft mode, you need to click on Show Notes in the Footnotes section of the References tab of the ribbon and then select the Footnote Separator from the dropdown at the top of the footnotes pane and format the paragraph to remove the space before it.
Why do Footnotes take up more space?
Turns out this is caused by something called a footnote separator which you have to go to Draft mode (under the View tab in MS Word 07 and up) to edit it. In the drop-down list that appears in the Footnotes area, choose Footnote Separator. Delete any extra spaces, carriage returns etc.
Do Footnotes take up more space?
Yes, footnotes generally count toward page count. Footnotes are found at the bottom of the page and don’t take up much of the page space in most instances. While it’s relatively easy to exclude footnotes from a word count, it’s much more difficult to exclude them from a page count.
Why is my Footnote appearing on the next page?
This happens when the final line on a page contains a footnote reference, and the paragraph has the “Widow/Orphan control” setting switched on, and where having the footnote on the same page as its reference would force that line onto the next page, breaking the “Widow/Orphan control” rule.

Do footnotes count for word count?
The word count DOES NOT include the bibliography or citations/references in the text (Harvard Style referencing) or in footnotes or endnotes (Chicago Style referencing). ANY OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN A FOOTNOTE OR ENDNOTE OTHER THAN A REFERENCE OR CITATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE WORD COUNT.
How do footnotes work?
Footnotes are notes placed at the bottom of a page. They cite references or comment on a designated part of the text above it. For example, say you want to add an interesting comment to a sentence you have written, but the comment is not directly related to the argument of your paragraph.
