if the footnotes are all done in the same way, then yes, a skilled
programmer might come up with such a macro. But he'd need to see the
file itself.
Often, OCR processes are trying their best to convert a scan into a
document that looks as much alike to the original as possible. They may
be using frames, or tables, or even footer space. And the numbers are
usually
Ultimately, whether it's worth for you to get hold of such a programmer,
or try to learn enough VBA for yourself, or do the thing manually (copy
the "footnote text", then go to the corresponding reference number,
delete it, insert a new footnote there and paste the old text), depends
on your resources (and your definition of "lots").
