Hello,

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me - there 
is no visible effect. In fact, I've tried this before. The hspace seems 
to affect the paragraph text only i.e if I put:

\renewcommand\footnoterule{%
   \kern-\p@
   \hspace*{2in} aaa \hrule \@width .1\columnwidth
   \kern .6\p@}

then it indents the "aaa" text, but still doesn't indent the rule.

On the other hand I have already received a working solution (as far as 
I can tell it was sent to the private address only so I cannot forward 
it to the group myself).

Thanks all who took time to try to help.
