AFAIK the dotted box has always been there. It is certainly there in Word
2003 (there is only one "post-Word 2003 version"). I assume you're not using
a Mac version?

The footnote reference has a dotted box
around it; the cross-reference does not have the box.
I am not seeing this on my screen -- i.e., there is nothing distinguishing
the actual footnote reference from cross-references to the same footnote.
Is the 'dotted box' something that was added in post-Word 2003 versions?
Thanks.
