I have messed with the style and it does not seem to effect it. Here's the code-


Code:
Sub InsertFootnote()
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range
With Selection
   .Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Reset
   .Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters(2) = ""
   .InsertAfter ". " & vbTab
   .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With
End Sub

If you want text to be aligned at the dot, you need to insert a "Right Tab" at the dot and type a "Tab" key before the number.

Sorry, I can't say if this can be done with VBA but I presume it can.
