Hello, hello,

I am currently writing my thesis and the footnotes as well as the separator bar between the text and those same notes are greyed out.
I have set Borders - Shading - no fill / transparent style but nothing works...
Thank you to the Word pros for helping me!
Best regards

    Hello,

    Just looking at the style looks: everything is patterned! The Normal style is patterned (light yellow) and all the others naturally follow. Except the document must have been well tinkered with manually, and the pattern removed by hand!

    We need to redo the Normal style. But honestly, I don't know where this doc came from, how it was made, which version, because we can't even remove the pattern from the Normal style.

    The Normal style contains the following formatting element: 
    Pattern: Transparent (Custom Color RGB(243;243;231))
    This can be observed in lines 6 and 33. https://www.cjoint.com/?DEifjvKf5j3

    Since the Footnote style is based on the Normal style, it also has this transparent gray color. This can be seen on pages 1 (below line 23), 3 (below line 63), 5, 6, and 9 ... https://www.cjoint.com/?DEifeEmLjSP

    To correct this error, position yourself in a healthy part of the text, for example at line 3, right-click on the Home/Style/¶ Normal button and select the first option "Update Normal to match selection":
    The problem is completely resolved! https://www.cjoint.com/?DEiffsqBl3P

    Now we just need to know why and how you disturbed the formatting of the Normal style ...

    Best regards.

    It's great, retirement! Especially in the Caribbean ... :-)

    Great, in changing the style I found the solution.
    I'm using Word 2007. I did make manual changes to modify "citation" but I don't know what happened for everything to be strikethrough.
    Anyway, the problem is solved, thank you all for your valuable and quick help!!

      Qi004, it's about Footnotes, not Footers!
