Hmm...

If you are tracking changes, the footnote numbers will not sort themselves
out until you have accepted all changes.

By the way, what you have (I think) is a cross-reference next to a footnote.
Footnotes update without the user doing anything--Cross-References you have
to manually update by Select All (cntl-A), then hitting F9 to Update Fields.
But select all only selects main text, not headers, etc, so you might have
to do that multiple places. All that's just FYI, I think Track Changes is
causing the issue you reported. I'll have to remember that trick, although
using a field to get the Section number might have worked better.

Hi Daiya,

Yes we are using track changes.

Whoever first put in the original footnotes was pretty tricky. What I think
they did was insert them as a regular footnote 1, 2, 3, 4. Then they
manually typed the following code in front of the formatted number to get the
section number:

REF _Ref480250960 \r \t \* MERGEFORMAT

I accessed this code by highlighting the section number in the footnote,
right clicking, then selecting "Toggle Field Codes."
