    Hello,
    I’m working in a long document doing the last modifications before delivering it to the client. The draft pdf was ok. Now for some reason, in Indesign, the footnotes in the same column from note #27 onward have have a line space in between which, of course, causes a real mess in the rest of the book layout. Body text and footnotes have different sizes but the same leading, all lines stick to the baseline, footnotes 0 spacing after.

    Notes from 1 to 26 have no spacing between them as they all should. I cannot understand this inconsistency. With hidden characters on, I cannot see anything weird.

    I would like you to submit you the two snapshots but I can’t paste them.

    Do you any clues?

    Thanks in advance,
    Mireia

    UPDATE: I have compared Footnote general options and Footnote paragraph style with an older version (with all footnote spacing correct), and there are no differences in the values or choices.

    To share your snapshots, you’d have to host them. For example, photobucket, 4Share, etc., and then provide the URL link.

    If you can do that, I’ll be glad to take a look.

    I see only bad spacing shows in the last link. Here’s the good spacing sample:

    Hi again,
    here’s the link of the Indesign page file where the bad spacing first occurs.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvbd8lbrcw03u7w/badspacing.indd?dl=0

    I’ve tried exporting the file, which is very large, to idml. When I try to open it, Indesign thinks for ages, then freezes and the dialog asks to close the application. When I reopen Indesign, Sans-titre-1 is there but all text in the boxes has gone, and the little red + shows in the right bottom.

    And guess what, Notes 1-25 now have too between notes the odious blank line which is driving me nuts.

    Any help would be deeply appreciated.

    Mireia

    Hi, me again,
    I’ve got the answer from Adobe’s forum: in footnote’s paragraph style, I have to choose don’t align to the grid. As it has the same leading as the body text it will align. And the blank lines will disappear.

    I’m glad you got it figured out.

    Would you like to be able to have multiple footnotes on the same line to save space? (instead of every footnote starting on a new line?
