PS: Is it possible to have word automatically insert a footnote
reference number, via find/replace? To replace every occurrence of **
with a separate, continuously numbered, footnote reference?


Hi *(((({

You can change custom footnotes into auto-numbered footnotes with a macro:

Once you've done that, you can choose the numbering scheme in the footnote dialog.
Likely, it'll already be the default 1, 2, 3 style.
