No automatic way, no. You can format it as not superscript (modify the
Footnote Reference style), but you will have to add the parens manually (or
with F&R or a macro).

When I insert a footnote in Word 2003 (using Windows XP) the footnote
reference mark is a single number in superscript -- is it possible to make
this number show up within parenthesis? In other words the mark in the
body
of the document will go from 3 to (3) and the same in the footnote
section,
from 3 to (3)...Thanks!
