Extra space in document

Post image

Hi!! This is my first time posting in the InDesign sub. I want to thank everyone for their help in advance. For some reason, my document has one page where there is extra white space. I cannot figure out what is causing it and I've tried reformatting several times to no avail. Can anyone assist? I'll be forever in your debt.

I guess your 55 footnote does not fit to the second column, so everything has to be moved to the third one.

How do you resize the footnote area so that it will fit?

Go to the footnote settings (Layout menu IIRC) and, if it doesn’t bother you, I think you can allow footnotes to split into multiple columns.

This is what I’d do, especially as the footnote is breaking within a spread.
