Default update cross reference field in a footnote

For some operations, you have to do it separately for the footnotes
and for the main text. After Ctrl-A in the text (and an F9 thing, or
whatever), do Ctrl-A in any footnote and repeat the operation (just in
case).

Even if the command to update the field is not on the context (right-click)
menu, you should still be able to do so by pressing F9. Or simply switch to
Print Preview and back to have Word update the cross-reference fields.

In a footnote in document that I have created, I put a cross-reference
field
to another footnote in the document. When I select the the field and
right-click on it, however, I do not get an update field option, as I do
with
cross-references in the main text. I'd appreciate any help in resovling
this
problem. Thanks --
