Cant remove line on top of foot note (imported word-doc).

[Mikkel_Braginsky]

Hi Guys

I can't figure out how to remove the line that is above the foot notes that I have imported from a word dock. Further more theres a "invisible border! around the foot notes that moves my main txt and can't figure out where to turn this of.

Hope somebody can help! Thanks!

1. As explained in the Online Help at Create footnotes in InDesign: Change footnote numbering and layout , you can change the top line in Type > Document Footnote options. The Rule Above options are in the layout tab.

2. … Uh, isn't that the entire point of a footnote? Yes, the footnote moves the text out of the way, and no, you cannot "turn it off". If it does not move the text, then your note text would appear over the text at the bottom of your page. Surely that is not what you had in mind?

[If that is exactly what you want, just say so. It's just not what the footnotes in InDesign do -- or are intended to --, so we'd have to get creative and think of a feasible workaround.]

Thank you - that was very helpful. And you have a point regarding the foot note position.
