Word Footer Adds Lines Unnecessarily
Hi Jeremy,
I was having the exact same issue. Although I had a table in the footer (not sure if you do). The table allowed for text to be more easily formatted in the footer, however once I removed it, the problem went away.
Hope this helps.
I do happen to have a table in my footer. Unfortunately however, this problem occurs even when the table is deleted or when I edit a footer that doesn't have a table.
Another note, when this happens undo (CTRL+Z) does not reverse it, I have to erase the returns manually.
For now I have just made the footer reference information on the title page so that it updates itself automatically and noone should have to edit the footer. I'd still like to know what is going on though!
See attached for the document I am talking about, but with the information erased. Double clicking the footer on each different page seems to have different results each time. Sometime click and type seems to work as expected (just adds returns up to the point of the cursor), sometimes only about half a page worth of returns are added after the cursor, and sometimes up to 13 pages of returns are added after the cursor.
