One feature that may help do it (although it's not the global sort of thing that we'd all rather have) is that command-option-r will find formats. Combine this with the find again command (= on the keypad, or command-option- a) as follows. Select the first footnote marker in your text, do command-option r and it will find the next one (because the format is the same). Then you have to change the size (command-shift-< and command-shift-> are useful here). Then use the find again to move to the next one (you want to use the find again rather than reusing find format cmd-opt-r because Word might hare off looking for some new format rather than the one you really want it to find). Don't neglect, after doing the markers in the text, to move your cursor to the foot- note window to finish the job because Word apparently doesn't consider the footnotes to be part of the same document (_I_ don't know, you go figure!) There isn't it all very simple when we're using a powerful, yet easy to use word processor? ;-)
