I thank both Daiya and Suzanne for their assistance. I never found a "not

Sorry. You weren't supposed to be looking for a character, but to use
Format | Font (in the Find dialog) to format the empty replace box as not
superscript. However, you solved it, so no matter.

but I was able to mark all the footnotes and then press
CTRL/SHIFT/+ once and then again. The first changes everything that isn't
superscript (everything except the footnote numbers) to superscript, and the
second changes everything that is superscript (which is now everything) to
not superscript. I haven't figured out how to mass insert the periods after
the footnote numbers, but I have to revisit every footnote anyway, so I'll
just do them manually. While I have my own footnote macro, the one suggested
here should do the trick for formal writing. Perhaps I'll put the two
together.

Just why, this many years into Word's existence, does it fail to handle
footnoting as required by the Chicago Manual of Style? Does no one have an
add-in?
