Hi Brian, Thank you for the quick response.
So part of the issue for us is we want to use the standard text box and not
a rich text box so that formatting issues for tags, hidden tags and other
formatting we can not allow are already taken care of. We would rather not
add a bunch of code just so the txt box can allow the higher superscripts.
I may be incorrect in my original assertion but I have not found a way to
add a superscript other than to choose insert - symbol and then choose from
what is available which is 1,2,3. I pasted in a set of superscript 0-9 and
the txt box converted it to regular numbers.
We know we need to devise a relationship mechanism so that when we add a
superscript, we can link it to a particular footnote which that relationship
is pertanant downstream for publishing as well as within our CMS.
In the broad view what we are doing is authoring messaging like you would
write a white paper and need a way to footnote citations or in our case
strictly a legal footnote so that anywhere we place a, say superscript 1 we
can see at the bottom of the doc it refers to a specific footnote.
I hope that makes it a little clearer.
thank you again for all your input.

Your best bet is to build that linkage into the form template, although the
experience will be very different from using footnotes and superscripting in
Word. InfoPath doesn't have the ability to "link" a plain text field to
another field, it's just not a feature of XML. Try creating a form template
that has a secction with the plain text and a spot for optional footnotes.
