That worked to make the footnote in the text bold, but it added a
supernumerary superscript bold footnote number in the footnote at the tab
site of the hanging indent for the Footnote Text.  If I tried to back up and
erase it, I lost the normal footnote number at the left margin and the
superscript bold footnote number went to the left margin.  I discovered I
could select just the superscript footnote number and delete it.  That would
return me to the tab insert for my hanging indent, ready to type my footnote.

Microsoft should have spent more time on the footnotes.  Years ago, when
Radio Shack had a program called Scripsit, that program had no provision for
footnoting.  Of course, you cannot sell many programs to law firms if the
word processor will not footnote.  I worked out a way to footnote in that
program (although the footnotes would not move to another page or renumber
themselves automatically because I was using a mere text-insertion technique)
and spent hours on the telephone with people from Fort Worth telling them how
to do it.  The first time I asked for help from Radio Shack, they wanted to
charge me.  Bad move.  After three Radio Shack computers, I never have bought
another Radio Shack product -- not even a flashlight bulb.  At least
Microsoft's Community Discussion Group site lets you get help from people who
know -- not usually Microsoft employees.

Thanks for your help.  If you figure a work-around that will keep the
Footnote Reference from inserting an extra footnote number in my footnote, I
would appreciate receiving that information.
