In the Styles and Formatting task pane, at the bottom, is a dropdown box
from which you can select Available styles, Styles in use, All styles (which
is a joke), and Custom. Choosing Custom opens the Format Settings dialog, in
which you can set visibility.

On Word XP, where do I find "CUSTOM" so that Footnote Text will show by
default as a style?

No, the Footnote Text paragraph style defines the font and paragraph
formatting of the footnote text. The Footnote Reference character style
defines the font formatting of the footnote reference mark both in the
footnotes and in the body of the document. By default, it is defined as
Default Paragraph Font + Superscript. Neither of these styles is listed in
the style list by default, though you can change the style visibility in
the
Styles and Formatting task pane using Custom, and you can force the Styles
dropdown to display all styles by pressing Shift while clicking the down
arrow.
