How can I configure footnotes so that there is one line of whitespace above them? As currently configured, they are butting right up against the body text. I prefer a bit more room. Thanks.

To increase the whitespace between your main body text and footnote area you'll want to adjust your document's Footnote style. Specifically you want to increase the note gutter height. Here's what you should do:

1. Switch to your document's stylesheet, eg: using the menu View > Style Sheet.
2. From the list of styles on the left, select the note style called "Footnote".
3. From the note style settings on the right, look for the "Gutter Height" setting under "Note Area Divider":
You can set any number of points you want. After you're done editing the note style, return to the regular document view (eg: Page View) and you should see the changes take effect immediately.

I hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any troubles or questions.

That got it! Thank you very much.
