In the body of the document, want to add a space to separate footnote number
from the text and make it more visible.
Also, in the footnote itself, want there to be 2 spaces instead of one
between the number and the footnote text.
Thanks

You can do this manually, typing Ctrl+Shift+SpaceBar (to insert a
nonbreaking space) before inserting the footnote, and then pressing SpaceBar
before typing the footnote text.

If you want the above to be automated, you need a macro solution. For Word
2007:

Sub InsertFootnoteNow()
Selection.InsertAfter Chr(160)
ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range

With Selection
.InsertAfter " "
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With

End Sub

Installation instructions can be found at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

If you also want to intercept the Footnote and Endnote dialog box (or if you
are using Insert | Footnote in Word 2003), insert a similar macro named
"InsertFootnote."

Note that in order to change the appearance of existing footnotes, you need
a different set of macros.
