My footnotes are indenting and I am getting 1.5 spacing. Tried to change via "modify style" and used advanced tab and changed font and para but it changed the whole document. Now I can't reset modify style because the fields for "style type" and "style based on" fields are greyed out. Possibly because I saved in style type although I can't see it.
When I reopen the document it hasn;t saved changes and font still the same.
I am using citation software as well as manualy references.
Can anyone point me to a resource plese as possibly not searching for right problem

Sounds like you are changing the Normal style. Make sure to modify the actual
Footnote Text style instead: Right-click the footnote text and choose Style from
the context menu. In the Style dialog box, click Modify, and then make the
desired changes.

In addition to what Stefan said, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm. But note
that the Footnote Text style is based on Normal. If you change the
formatting of Normal, it will affect almost every other style. This is why I
recommend leaving Normal alone and using Body Text for body text instead
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...odyStyles.htm).
