Cheat. Insert the asterisk manually and use a textbox for the asterisked
info. Switch off the textbox border, anchor it to the author's name, and
position it absolutely at the foot of the page, above the real footnotes.

In a scholarly article the authors name is footnoted with an asterisk and
footnote gives a brief bio of the author. The next footnote starts with
number 1 and is consecutive after that. How do I get that 1st footnote to
be
an asterisk and the next and subsequent ones to be numbers?
Thanks
