Word 2003

Using the dialog at Insert menu > Reference > Footnote, I inserted the
first footnote in my document with the asterisk/cross/etc. "number"
formatting and set the numbering to Restart Each Page. Thereafter, I
used Ctrl-Alt-F to insert subsequent footnotes, and the same
formatting appeared, no problem.

When I close and reopen the document, however, the footnote references
become numerals and are Continuous throughout the document. How can I
make the formatting I want stick?

Thanks.

This is very strange. You should treat the document as corrupt; see

Thanks.

Self-inflicted corruption. Long ago, I created an AutoOpen macro that
included a footnote settings subroutine. I've disabled it.

I'm glad you got it sorted, and thank you for the follow-up.
