I don't know what to say. I see the dotted box both in the text and in the
footnote. Have you tried looking at, say, 200% Zoom?

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?
No, I only use WORD on a PC (Windows XP). No sign of any dotted box for
footnote *or* cross-references to footnotes.
