Default Problem with Footnotes

Well, it's an old-fashioned abbreviation for the Latin "opus citatum" (work
cited), so it refers to the source given in note 3. I'm with Daiya, by the
way; I think repeating a note with the same number at the bottom of the page
would be confusing to readers. If you want an approach that allows you to
cite references multiple times without regard to order, you might consider a
numbered reference list instead.

Thanks. Please explain or decode "Op. cit., n. 3,"
I am not really familiar with this

If you're saying you want to *repeat* note 3 on page 16, then no, there

is
no way to do this. What you have to do in this case is insert a new
footnote
(with a new number) and say "Op. cit., n. 3," where the 3 can be a
cross-reference (not formatted) to the original footnote.

If you want to repeat the entire text of footnote 3, then you'll need to
bookmark that text and insert a cross-reference to the bookmark text.

This does not address the problem
Consider this:
For example I insert footnote #3 at the end of a sentence on page 5. I
continue typing my document. I get to page 16 and would like to make
another reference to footnote #3.

Now if I do Insert/Reference/Cross Ref: Footnote number
formatted...........I will end up with footnote number 3 being inserted
in
the text on page 16

But at the bottom of page 16 there is no reference. So I would have a
footnote #3 in my text on page 16 but noting at the bottom of the page.

Is there a way to use a footnote to refer to footnote #3

I hope that I have explained this problem clearly this time

I am working on long report. I used a footnote on page 5. Now I am

on
page
16 and would like to refer to the same footnote. How do I do this.

I
tried
using the cross reference feature but there is no reference on the

bottom
of
page 16
