A continuation notice, on the other hand, appears below the end of the first part of the footnote, usually to indicate that the footnote is continued on the following page. It's quite easy to replace Word's default separators and continuation notices with ones that are more interesting or that adhere to a particular set of formatting guidelines. If you are working in Page Layout View, switch to Normal view or Outline view. The bar that divides the Footnotes pane from the main document pane contains a drop-down list box. Choose Footnote Separator from the list.
Word hides the footnotes and in their place displays the default footnote separator.
Note that when a separator or continuation notice is displayed in the pane, a Reset button appears beside the drop-down list box. Click this button to return to the default separator or notice. Choose Footnote Continuation Notice from the drop-down list. Word displays a blank window, because the default continuation notice is blank. To see your changes in place, switch to Page Layout view or Print Preview.
