If the numbers in the body of the document don't match the footnote numbers
(in the footnote area) then something is definitely wrong. Have you tried
copying the document, except for the final paragraph mark, into a new file?

I would like to renumber some footnote references in the body of my text
which are now for example numbers 59 through 69 but correspond to notes 69
through 79, to which they are linked. I am not sure how the numbering got
botched, but I have reordered sections of the text, and I also selected
some
text and changed its formatting to bold.
