It's the same line that's at the bottom of the page before a footnote. Is there any way to remove this line? I have a mac, but I think the same issue comes up with PCs. I need to get rid of this line to fulfill the formatting requirements to post my dissertation, so any help would be much appreciated! post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108005 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:57:55 -0800 jefsolo microsoft word endnotes formatting resolved http://ask.metafilter.com/108005/How-to-get-rid-of-the-line-above-the-endnotes-in-microsoft-word#1556161 It's called an endnote/footnote separator. <br> <br> Microsoft has <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HP051862361033.aspx">this article in their knowledge base</a> on how to format them. I don't have a copy of Word handy, but I know I have deleted them before, just like the document describes. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108005-1556161 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 22:20:36 -0800 gemmy http://ask.metafilter.com/108005/How-to-get-rid-of-the-line-above-the-endnotes-in-microsoft-word#1556445 Thank you!
