I would like to restart footnote numbering in a new section but start at a
number chosen by me that's not 1 and not the number following the previous
section. I have tables intervening that are in "abc" format and I want to
number footnotes in the new section using numbers following the last text
(non-table) section. I either get "1" or what the number would be if the
"abc" notes were all numbers.
