Word2003 Offline Help on inserting footnotes does not address how to insert
footnotes but how it counts footnotes (which is not the topic):

Insert a footnote or an endnote
Microsoft Word automatically numbers footnotes and endnotes, whether you use
a single number format throughout a document, or different number formats
within each section in a document.

When you add, delete, or move notes that are automatically numbered, Word
renumbers the footnote and endnote reference marks.
