Have done all that, no changes.
My gf actually solved it by copy and pasting it all into a new document!
Would still like to know if anyone know why/how it happened...

Browse All TopicsHi experts,
this is a problem I've come across before.
I have a long document with footnotes throughout. It has, at some point, decided to make the area for footnotes huge - about a quarter of the page - even when there is just one footnote on that page. The area is increased when there are more. I really don't have much time to fix this, so I hope someone has a quick solution...
All ideas welcome.

Perhaps a corrupt document. Especially if it was once a WordPerfect document. I've seen that a lot. You can go to Community Support and request a refund of points.

Check your footnote style - in normal view, View, footnotes, click within the footnote, click Format, Style, Modify, Format, Paragraph, line and page breaks. Uncheck everything other than widow/orphan. Click Indents and Spacing, and make sure everything is set to zero and line spacing is single.
Also, check under File, Page Setup, Layout - that it's set to Top not Center.
Check your margins (File, Page Setup, Margins). Should be something like 1" for each and .55 for footer and header.
