Footnote Reference style in Word 2010

Some of the manuscripts I copyedit use simple superscript numbers for endnotes and include a numbered list of notes, rather than using the Word endnote feature. I like to use the footnote feature, with large boldface superscript numbers, for my queries to authors.

The problem is that Word 2010, which I just began using, formats all the simple superscript numbers so that they look like my query footnote numbers. I need to have the two kinds of superscript numbers clearly distinguished. I still can search footnotes using ^f in Find and Replace and accurately find only my footnotes.

Is there a way to overcome this style mixup?

Answer

If changing the Footnote Reference style changes the formatting of the reference numbers in the text, then they must have the Footnote Reference style applied. Before adding any of your own footnotes, try searching for the Footnote Reference style and replacing it with Endnote Reference. You can then format those two styles separately.

It would probably be easier to use Word's Comments feature for your queries instead of adding footnotes, however.
