The fallacy here is in:
3. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, near the top under Formatting
of
Selected Text, Footnote Reference should appear. Right click Footnote
Reference and choose Modify.
In fact, neither Footnote Text nor Footnote Reference will appear, even if
you select "All styles." But if you select "Custom," which opens the Format
Settings dialog, you can click on the Styles... button, which opens the
Style dialog. Select the Footnote Reference style, click Modify..., and
change the font or font size as desired. Font and font size are the only
things that can be modified because Footnote Reference is a character style.

I don't see what the problem is. If I redefine the font size assigned to
the
Footnote Reference style, all footnote numbers in my document
*simultaneously* change to the new size.
1. Select a footnote reference mark.
2. Choose Format - Styles and Formatting.
3. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, near the top under Formatting
of
Selected Text, Footnote Reference should appear. Right click Footnote
Reference and choose Modify.
4. In the Modify Style dialog box, near the bottom left, choose Format -
Font.
5. Set the Size to whatever size you want.
6. Choose OK, and then OK again.

An earlier discussion of changing at once the font and size of 1500+
footnote
numbers without changing the footnote text following each footnote
number
in
a single Word 2003 document yielded two suggestions related to
"Format"/"Styles and Formatting"/"Footnote Reference" settings.
The advice was based on:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...895621033.aspx .
This procedure does not seem to work, hopefully because I have not
implemented the steps correctly. Can anyone give step by step
instructions
on how to do this? Can all 1500+ footnote numbers alone--separate from
the
footnote text--be selected at once (highlighted), then changed in
"Styles
and
Formatting"? Can anyone explain why "Numbering" is not activated in
"New
Styles" when "Characters" is selected to implement "Footnote Reference,"
which supposedly is the command to change the font and size of footnote
numbers alone?
Thanks in advance for your help.
