Thank you, Stefan, for your quick answer. I modified the footnote text style as you advised. Now the bullet before the footnote text stops appearing, but those above are still there, and I can't do anything about it.

By the way, I opened the footnotes format box and saw "Custom mark" has a dot (see attachment). I tried to delete the dot but it couldn't. Can this be what's causing it?

One thing I must say is that in this particular document all paragraphs are dotted, and Normal style is dotted as well. I think this is somehow causing this error because I don't get these dots in the footnote when I create one in a new document.
