Hello Susan. Pedantically, "FootNotes" are notes that appear at the Foot of the page, just as EndNotes appear at the End of the document.
I think that here you are asking for a more mobile sort of Note, generally "InLineNotes".
The closest that I can see being supported by MSWord without implementing Macros is "Comments".
I suspect that you will require an MSWord Macro, written in VBA.
Imagine that after typing some text you want to insert a reference to a note after the text "southern side" and that you want the text of the note to be housed after the text "driveway".
You select the text in between these two points (as shown in the attached image), and run the macro (perhaps by a shortcut key). The Macro pops up an Input-box, you type in the text of the note, and choose "OK".
The macro then inserts the note text, with a bookmark, after "driveway", and inserts a sequentially-numbered ({SEQ} field) after "southern side, and the job is done.
On your part:-
(a) Shortcut key to run the macro
(b) Text of the Note to be typed in.
Result:-
(c) A note placed where YOU want it
(d) Your note on display.
There are many variations.
Instead of an InputBox you could use a user form with a few buttons to indicate where the Note was to be placed;
You could elect to assign different character styles to different types of Note;
You could have options to Hide or Delete certain notes; ...
Is this close to what you want?
