Customizing and Troubleshooting Footnote and Endnote Separators. If your documents contain footnotes or endnotes, you will have run into the concept of separators, which are the short (or long) lines Word inserts between your body text and the footnotes at the bottom of the page or the endnotes at the end of the document or section. Remove all footnotes or endnotes from a document. Place your cursor at the top of your document, and then open the Advanced Find and Replace dialog box. In Word 2013 or Word 2016, press Ctrl + H. In Word 2016 for Mac, on the Edit menu, click Find Advanced Find and Replace. In the Find and Replace.
NOTE: There was a compatibility issue with EndNote X7 and the MacIntosh OS Sierra which has been corrected in the latest version X8.
A Cite While You Write patch is available for EndNote X7 that addresses the compatibility issue with Office 2016/Office 365 on Macintosh [the Endnote toolbar tab not appearing in the Word menu]. The patch will become automatically available after successful installation of X7.

First, try rebooting your computer. If that does not work, try the following:
- Install the EndNote update(s) from http://endnote.com/support/enupdates.asp
- Open EndNote, and go to the EndNote menu. Select Customizer from the EndNote menu. Check the box in front of the Cite While You Write option. Click next until the Customizer is finished. Open a library. Then open Word and check the Tools menu for the EndNote submenu.
If the tools do not appear:
- Close Word and EndNote.
- Open your hard drive and go to the folder: EndNote X-: Applications:EndNote X-:Cite While You Write
- Copy the file EndNote CWYW Word 2011.bundle
- Go to the folder Applications:Microsoft Office 2011:Office:Startup:Word and paste the copied file
- Start Word, go to Word > Preferences and click on File Locations
- Make sure the Startup folder is set by highlighting Startup and clicking on Modify. Select the folder Applications:Microsoft Office 2011:Office:Startup:Word and click Choose
- Click OK and close Word.
- Start EndNote and then start Word.
If the tools still do not appear:
- Change Word Preferences so it will not automatically open up the document gallery (which can prevent EndNote from connecting)
As a last resort, try reinstalling EndNote. For technical assistance contact EndNote Technical Support.
In this post, we would like to share with you 4 methods to remove footnote or endnote separator in your Word document.
If you ever insert a footnote or endnote into document, you will find there is always a horizontal line over the texts. This separator marks out the footnote or endnote area clearly. Yet, some people may find it annoying and would like to get rid of it. This article will provide you with 4 methods to do so.
Method 1: Remove Footnote Separator Manually
- Firstly, click “View” tab then click “Draft” view.
- Next click “References” and then click “Show Notes” in “Footnotes” area.
- Now if your document contains both footnotes and endnotes, then there will be a box popping up. Choose to view either footnote or endnote area, then click “OK”. Now let’s choose “View footnote area” first.
- A note pane shall open at the bottom of the screen. Click the drop-down button to select “Footnote Separator”.
- Then click to have the separator in selection. Press either “Backspace” or “Delete” to remove the separator.
- And choose “Footnote Continuation Separator” then and delete it as well.
- When you get rid of the separator, there will be a blank line left which you can’t delete directly. Here we come up with a workaround. Endure the “Footnote Separator” is chosen.
- Then click “Home” tab and click the arrow button in “Paragraph” group to open the same name dialog box.
- Choose “Multiple” for “Line spacing”, set the value at “0.06” and click “OK”.
