Open the document as a template, via File | Open, and then set the desired
restart option for footnotes. The chosen setting will then be used for each
document based on the template.

Word XP/2002.
I've got a custom template. I want to force footnotes to restart
numbering for every section. Can I set that up as the
default for this template?
