Your code doesn't do anything. Inserting the "a" after the reference number as you request is at best a mirage. It will not affect the numbering of the footnote in the document body.

In any case:

Code:

Sub ScratchMacro()

Dim ftNote As Footnote
Dim supLetter As String
  supLetter = "a"
  Set ftNote = ActiveDocument.Footnotes(1)
  With ftNote
    .Range.Characters.First.Previous.Delete
    .Range = supLetter & " " & .Range
    .Range.Characters.First.Font.Superscript = True
  End With
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub
