Changing default styles in footnotes

I don't like using the same style to the footnote reference number in the
text and the target number in the footnote, yet Word does use the same style
and i haven't figured out how the style that is automatically applied can be
modified. Any help would be gratly appreciated.

Dear Suzanne,
Thanks for your answer. I went to the page you referred me to and it worked!
Furthermore, once I had the macro up and running i managed to use it to
apply a different, user-defined, character style to the footnote number.

You can also change the style of the Footnote Reference Number in the text of
the document as follows:

Insert a footnote into a document. On the menu bar click Format, Reveal
Formatting and the Reveal Formatting box will appear to the right of your
document. Highlight the Footnote Reference Number in the document text.
“Character Style: Footnote Reference Number†will appear in the Reveal
Formatting box to the right of your document. Double click on “Character
Style†and the Style dialog box will open with Footnote Reference already
selected. Next click on Modify, Format, Font and in the Font dialog box
select the Font, Font Style, Size you want and under Effects click
Superscript. Then click Okay to close the Font dialog box; in the lower left
corner of the Modify Style dialog box check the box that is next to “Add to
template.†Then click Okay to close the Modify Style dialog box; click Apply
in the Style dialog box and Close. This will permanently change the Footnote
Reference Number in this and every new document you create.

But the Footnote Reference style will still be the same in the text and in
the note.
