I don't know about the second question, but, for the first, use Ctrl+Alt+F.
This will insert a footnote using your current settings, so you may want to
use Insert | Footnote for the first one to make sure that the settings are
correct.

I'd like to use a keyboard shortcut for inserting a footnote. Can
somebody please tell me the combination?

PS: Is it possible to have word automatically insert a footnote
reference number, via find/replace? To replace every occurrence of **
with a separate, continuously numbered, footnote reference?

Thanks.
