If you need to remove spacing around the footnote separator line , you must be cognizant of the many factors that play a role in determining this spacing. First, if there is random extra spacing before the line separator on some of your pages, this can be caused by the paragraph pagination options. Second, the line spacing associated with the line separator can cause additional spacing. And, third, additional spacing after the line separator can be caused by additional paragraph markers being included with the separator. Below are the step-by-step instructions for troubleshooting and correcting this issue.

In the OneNote webapp, double-click in an empty region of the page, then hover over the table. This will make the parent container visible, so you can move your mouse to the edge and adjust the parent container's width (and, consequentially, the table's).

2. Click the Paragraph Dialog Box launcher.
3. Select the Line and Page breaks tab.
4. Navigate to the Paginationarea to check and remove the options as necessary to correct your issue.
