I have a large document with many footnotes that will be undergoing some updates. The author's desire is to keep the original footnote reference number in front of the footnote text (also as text, not footnote reference style) so you can see what the original number was even after new footnotes are added that change the numbering.


I would like to insert the word Note with the number in curly brackets between the footnote reference number and the footnote text.
Example:
1 {Note 1} footnote 1 text
2 {Note 2} footnote 2 text

I have a macro that loops through the footnotes and adds additional text, but incorporating a variable number as part of that text is beyond me.


Any help is appreciated – thanks!
