I did this on a test and they said I was incorrect. Here is the scenario:

There is a table that has footnotes in the heading cell. Footnote 2 is to
appear 2x (in the second cell and then another cell within the table). I
inserted the footnote and said to put it "below text". When it came to
insert Footnote #2 the second time I did Insert, Reference, Cross-Reference
to the footnote. They told me that was incorrect..it could be done in
footnotes.

I can't debate this because it is the weekend..so how can this be done? They
also said that it was a regular footnote at the end of the page..ok so how
do you get the footnotes to show up without the line. The test had footnotes
after a table and no line.

Sorry for all the jibberish explanations..but I am fuming because I want to
be right!

Thank you.
 
Your post sorta makes sense.

Re getting rid of the line, see #5 here:

Insert | Reference | Cross-Reference is certainly a good method if you only
want to show one footnote.

Word doesn't really care what is "correct"--for authoritative debate, you'll
need to look at something like the Chicago Manual of Style, but "correct"
basically depends on what they asked you do (and I can't quite tell what
that was from your post).
