Remove Space in MS Word above footer

I am struggling a lot to remove the space I have marked into the images(it is the space before the footer). It's a very small problem but it is creating a lot of pain for me.

I am not able to use that space and it is a wastage of my precious page.

I tried many ways- Aligning the footer. used the left ruler to change the spacing, also use the paragraph alignment but not successful. So, now I am here to ask for a solution.

Please let me know if anyone has the perfect solution.

Solution

  • Normal document standards call for a visual break between the body and the footer.

    Look into the space-before formatting of your footer style.

    1. Go into the footer (Edit Footer)
    2. Click in the footer's first line
    3. Right-click and pick Paragraph
    4. Adjust the Space-before formatting for the paragraph
    5. When you have the spacing you want, find the Footer style and modify it - update to current formatting.
