Default
Try adding the following macro to the 'ThisDocument' code module of your document or its template:
Code:
Private Sub InsertFootnoteNow()
Dim Rng As Range
Application.Dialogs(wdDialogInsertFootnote).Execute
Set Rng = Selection.Range
With Rng
  .Start = .Start - 1
  .Text = vbTab
  .Move wdParagraph, 1
  .Select
End With
End Sub

You can adjust the effective size of the tab by modifying the Footnote Text Style and adding a left tab-stop to it; you could also apply a hanging indent, etc.
