Can't delete the Footer Space in Word

I have Home Premium 365 on an 8.1 system. I want to delete all footers in a document. There is no typing in the footer. I want the entire space gone.  I spent about an hour with a MS technician yesterday, but he couldn't make it happen either. What do I need to do?


In older versions of word I could at least set the header to zero--but it would "stick" in 365.

You can set the footer margin to 0", but when you access the header area, the footer area will still be displayed by a bounding box showing a finite amount; that's just the way Word works. As long as the footer is empty (though it will continue to display a paragraph mark when nonprinting characters are displayed), you can change the bottom margin to as small an amount as desired (though even if you change the bottom margin to 0", Word will still show a finite footer area when the header is selected).
