Description mhacleth 2005-04-07 10:08:33 UTC
I am having trouble with making a consistent space between the text area to the
separator bar; and between the bar to the footnote area. 

I am employing a pagestyle for this. I have set the space from the bar to the
footnote area as 0.24". I also set the space from the separatorbar to the text
area as 0.24".

I have no problem with the space between the separator bar and the footnote
area. It is with the space with the separator bar and the text area. 

This usually occurs when the paragraph is split to prevent orphans.

In ascii:

  |  this is the last line that is broken so that orphans are prevented |
  |                                                                     |
  |              ( E  M  P  T  Y      S  P  A  C  E  )                  |    
  |_____________________________________________________________________|      
                                                              
    ___________________                                                        
   _____________________________________________________________________
  |                                                                     |

Is it possible to make the separator line move up and take over that empty space
from the Text Area? Again in ascii:

  |  this is the last line that is broken so that orphans are prevented |

I am working on a Template based on the Turabian Specifications for Research
Papers. We will be using this in our Institution. I am promoting OpenOffice.org
here to be used in our Academic Research Paper. THanks!

User requests to start the foonote area right following the end of the text on a
page.
Comment 2 lohmaier 2005-04-07 21:02:36 UTC
changed summary, setting keywords.
original summary: "Unequal spaces from separator bar to Text area and to
Footnote Area"

It seems like this could possibly be done by treating the footer as a frame with
some special rules regarding anchors and alignment.  By treating a header/footer
as a special frame type, the flexibility and capabilities of headers/footers
might be improved significantly.
