Default Multiple references to the same footnote ?

Thank you for the instruction on how this feature works. We have used
wordprocessors that also provide a feature that will update or refresh all
the cross-references upon request by the user. For example, the user can
refresh all references in Corel Wordperfect by selecting a menu option to
'generate' the cross references. In our opinion, this is an extremely
effective approach to making sure the references are functioning correctly
and displaying the proper information.

Thanks,

Richard

Cross-references unfortunately don't update automatically but should
update when you print, switch to Print Preview, or update fields
generally.

Thank you, Suzanne, this appears to be exactly what we needed. However,
we cannot get the cross-reference numbers to update after inserting a new
footnote. We can right-click and update each one independently, but how
do we force all the cross-references to update? Shouldn't this happen
automatically and immediately by default?

Thanks,

Richard

How do we put multiple references in the body of the text to the same
footnote? For example, three superscript number "3" 's in different
paragraphs that all refer to the same footnote. We also want all three
footnote references in the body to be re-numbered (updated) if another
footnote is inserted before the third footnote. Can this be done?
