i wrote about this problem last month and couldn't solve it so i gave up now
i'm trying to solve it again. i can't find my old post so i will have to
start over. if microsoft would make it so that we can view our threads that
would help.

ok, i cut and paste some text onto a new doc and the font in the footnote
reference becomes very huge. when i try to change the font of the footnote
reference in the style section, that font becomes the font for the whole
text. this was the answer i received last month on how to solve it

1. Right-click in any paragraph and choose Style... This will open the Style
dialog.

2. Change the display setting from "All styles" to "Styles in use."

3. Find and select Footnote Reference.

4. Press Delete. This will not actually delete the style (you can't delete
built-in styles), but it should reset it to the default Normal.dot
definition (Default Paragraph Font + Superscript).

If modifying the Footnote Text style changes the entire document, then
perhaps the entire document is in Footnote Text style? Or perhaps the other
styles are somehow based on Footnote Text? This seems very unlikely, but it
is the only explanation I can think of.

ok, so i delete the footnote reference style. that just makes the footnotes
look regular, ie, they're not raised and they're the same font as the rest of
the text. no matter what i do whenever i try to adjust the font of the
footnote reference it applies it to the whole document
