Yes, you are right. I never could have imagined what you actually wanted
if you had not explained it. So you need to go over each word of the

exchange of messages. A classic example of the programmer not
understanding what the client needs. Your nagging is helping me, because
this is how a client is going to be. So, here goes. Another code! This
is as simple as it can get.

Just copy the code, and assign a keyboard shortcut to it. When you want
to transpose a footnote, place the cursor anywhere on the line where the
footnote reference is, but BEFORE the footnote reference (NOT between
footnote reference and next character). Press the keyboard shortcut.
Presto! Your desire will be fulfilled!

Um, no. The one you gave me already does that (plus some other stuff
that I can simply ignore). I find that as I used it yesterday, I would
usually do the transpose with the cursor directly before the note
reference. (I haven't mentioned that I'm translating from German as I
go, because that's not relevant to the problem, but it does mean that
the cursor often happens to come out in that spot.)

The _only_ thing it should do is transpose the two characters the
cursor is between (just like the one I already have, except it should
work on note refs as well as simple characters). It might be ok for it
to work on "fields" generally, but ones other than footnotes (or
endnotes) would rarely if ever arise, because authors don't insert
their own figure or cross reference markers. Thus ideally it would do
nothing but add note-reference capability to what I already had, so
that I wouldn't have to have separate commands (to remember) for the
two kinds of Transpose that exist only because of Word's quirk (and
because after all these years Word has never simply included a
Transpose command!).
