Default Beginning a footnote at #3 in a new section

So I'm writing an academic document and need to reset my footnote numbers in a new section. That is, I started a new section for "Chapter 1," but within this chapter I added a new section break. Since it's one chapter, the footnotes need to progress in numerical order, but they reset to 1 in the new subsection. How can I make footnotes start with a given number (in this case 3) in an individual section?

I've played around with the footnotes formatting menu, but nothing helps. Thanks

Clarification:
Do you want the footnote numbering to continue from the previous section?

Yes.

I have to type a 10 character minimum to respond.

In a section where they are restarting, go to the References tab and open the Footnotes dialog. Tell it you want continuous numbering. I believe this is a document setting.
