Inserting the same footnote twice

I think not possible with native features.

ibid

When I press Alt-F9, the second footnote reveals itself as

{NOTEREF _Refnnnn \f \h}

but nothing happens to the first footnote. I'll see what RTF generates.

Looks like the problem is the way in which it generates the footnote. The footnotes follow the text that they are footnoting. Basically

<bookmark start> <footnote symbol><text for footnote> <bookmark end>

We cannot do this on the second instance because

1) Bookmark cannot be inserted twice.
2) The second footnote would require the same text to follow and would generate another footnote.

Not possible. You could, however, convert the footnote references to hyperlinks, then use the footnote text as the hyperlink tool tip.

For code to do the basic footnote reference to hyperlink conversion, see:
