Default Problem with Footnotes

Can't do it. Word just doesn't work that way. If you want the note text
repeated at the bottom of the page, create a new footnote and copy the text
from note 3 into it.

I submit, in addition, that having two notes, both numbered 3, would be
confusing for the reader.

This does not address the problem
Consider this:
For example I insert footnote #3 at the end of a sentence on page 5. I
continue typing my document. I get to page 16 and would like to make
another reference to footnote #3.

Now if I do Insert/Reference/Cross Ref: Footnote number
formatted...........I will end up with footnote number 3 being inserted in
the text on page 16

But at the bottom of page 16 there is no reference. So I would have a
footnote #3 in my text on page 16 but noting at the bottom of the page.

Is there a way to use a footnote to refer to footnote #3

I hope that I have explained this problem clearly this time
