In this post, we would like to share with you 4 methods to remove footnote or endnote separator in your Word document.

If you ever insert a footnote or endnote into document, you will find there is always a horizontal line over the texts. This separator marks out the footnote or endnote area clearly. Yet, some people may find it annoying and would like to get rid of it. This article will provide you with 4 methods to do so.

Method 1: Remove Footnote Separator Manually

1. Firstly, click “View” tab then click “Draft” view.
2. Next click “References” and then click “Show Notes” in “Footnotes” area.
3. Now if your document contains both footnotes and endnotes, then there will be a box popping up. Choose to view either footnote or endnote area, then click “OK”. Now let’s choose “View footnote area” first.
4. A note pane shall open at the bottom of the screen. Click the drop-down button to select “Footnote Separator”.
5. Then click to have the separator in selection. Press either “Backspace” or “Delete” to remove the separator.
6. And choose “Footnote Continuation Separator” then and delete it as well.
7. When you get rid of the separator, there will be a blank line left which you can’t delete directly. Here we come up with a workaround. Endure the “Footnote Separator” is chosen.
8. Then click “Home” tab and click the arrow button in “Paragraph” group to open the same name dialog box.
9. Choose “Multiple” for “Line spacing”, set the value at “0.06” and click “OK”.
10. Now the height of the blank line is reduced to the least. You can change the view back to “Print Layout”.

Check the result bellow:

Naturally, replacing the Style Separator with a paragraph break changes the formatting. You can achieve much the same result, though, by changing the Style separator to a paragraph break formatted as hidden text. Indeed, that's a necessary workaround for documents being created on Macs as Word on the Mac doesn't support Style Separators.

Method 2: Remove Endnote Separator Manually

Customizing and Troubleshooting Footnote and Endnote Separators. If your documents contain footnotes or endnotes, you will have run into the concept of separators, which are the short (or long) lines Word inserts between your body text and the footnotes at the bottom of the page or the endnotes at the end of the document or section. Adding footnotes or endnotes to your document isn’t difficult; removing one, some, or even all, is even easier. But here’s the thing: It’s the reference number or mark that you delete (in the body of the text); NOT the footnote or endnote itself. If you delete the footnote or endnote itself, Word for the web renumbers the notes in a new order.

1. Repeat first 3 steps in method 1 but choose “View endnote area” this time in “Show Notes” box.
2. In the note pane open at the bottom, choose “Endnote Separator” and select the separator. Then delete it.
3. Next choose “Endnote Continuation Separator” and select the separator and delete it.
4. Then choose “Endnote Separator” again by clicking the drop-down button.
5. And repeat from step 8 to 10 in method 1.

Here is the result:
