Default How tell whether footnote reference is a reference v. cross-re

This is standard; I would have thought it might be affected by the "text
boundaries" setting, but it is not. If the references are very small, you
can use a higher Zoom. Many users erroneously believe that they have two
footnote 5s and no 6 (or maybe it's the other way around) because the
references, especially when complicated by the bounding box, display so
purely at 100% Zoom.

They actually don't look the same. The footnote reference has a dotted
box
around it; the cross-reference does not have the box.


I haven't noticed that but will check and post a follow-up. Possibly I've
missed it because the table is so complex and in a very small (6-pt.) font
size.

Is this contrasting display always evident or does some 'preference' or
other menu item have to be checked in order to see the dotted box around
the
original footnote?

Thanks.
