That might happen if the document was converted from a different program. It
cannot "happen" with footnotes created in the default Word, however. Either,
someone explicitly monkeyed with the formatting after the footnote(s) were
inserted, or there is some 3rd party add-in that's running interference. In
either of the latter two cases, you're in for a frustrating future unless
you can nip the cause in the bud.

Thanks, but as mentioned above, somehow the default styles didn't end up
being used in the footnotes of the document in question.
