how do I remove the separator line at the bottom of a page after deleting a 
footnote in word 2007

Provided you deleted the footnote correctly (by deleting the reference mark 
in the document body), the separator should not still be there. The fact 
that it is suggests that there is some residue of the footnote remaining. At 
a minimum, display nonprinting characters so you can see what you're dealing 
with. You may need to search the document for ^f (footnote reference mark) 
to find where the elusive footnote is hiding.
