InsertFootnote is a built-in Word command which brings up the Footnote
and Endnote dialog box. If a macro sub-routine with the same name as a
built-in command exists, it will replace that command. For more, see:

It didn't work in ANY view. But yesterday I found the answer to my
own
question. On another discussion list one reply to a question said
that
somehow the menu command had become a macro named "InsertFootnote,"
and that
the user should rename or delete this macro. That person said that
this is
not a macro that Word supplies. I couldn't rename it, so I deleted
it. And
then I was able to get the footnotes/endnotes pane. I suspect that
the
application Endnotes inserted that macro.

To display the footnote/endnote pane, you must be in Normal view:
On
the View menu, click Normal. Now you should be able to display the
footnote/endnote pane by clicking Footnotes on the *View* menu.

Alternatively, if you are trying to change the properties of
footnotes
and/or endnotes, in the Footnotes and Endnotes dialog box, click
Options. In the Note Options dialog box, make the desired changes,
and
then click OK to confirm.

Make sure that you click the *Close* button to exit the Footnotes
and
Endnotes dialog box; do *not* click OK, since this will make Word
insert an additional note.

When I try to get to the settings pane for endnotes and
footnotes I
follow
Word's instructions (Word tells you "On the Insert menu, point
to
Reference,
and then click Footnote") but get a new endnote instead of the
settings pane.
What am I doing wrong?
