Default How do I make several references to a single footnote?

Any good news on table footnotes? FrameMaker wins again!

Why do you say that? What Lovable describes is not uncommon. (Though
probably more common with table footnotes than with general ones --
does 2007 provide for table footnotes, BTW? I got used to a workaround
of putting a numbered paragraph in the bottom row with cells merged,
and inserting a cross reference to its number (actually a letter, of
course).)

it
sounds as if what you need is a references list rather than footnotes;

I want to be able to cite a single footnote several times, but each time
I
put a footnote in Word it makes a new one. Is it possible to make Word
understand that I want to refer to an existing footnote, not make a new
one?
For example, if I have a list of items and I want to make a footnote
comment
that refers to some of those items I should be able to put the comment
once
and then put the same note reference mark after each subsequent item to
which
the comment applies.
