Footnotes in a chapter that will need to restart within chapter

I am working on a book with Chapters that will have cases that require me to
start renumbering within the chapter. I will have custom footnotes within.
I have put continuous page breaks to pick up the numbering after the case,
but when I try to pick up the footnote numbering it either starts at one or
if I try to put the number say "39" to pick up on the numbering it includes
the custom numbers, if I add two footnotes it changes it to "41". What can I
do to fix this? Also, I am having problems with the continuous break
sometimes acting as a new page break, because Word does not like to have
footnotes restarting on the same page. Any advice would be very much
appreciated. I have looked online and have not found a similar situation.
Thanks in advance.
 
Setting footnote restart options within individual sections doesn't work in
Word, as you have noticed. I'd recommend using continuous numbering
throughout the document.
 
Stefan,

Thank you for the response. But unfortunately I cannot use continuous, that
is why I am seeking advice. But from my research online there is no solution
to this problem when using Word.

Unfortunately, your only options in Word are sequential notes or restarting
on *every* section. :-(

Of course, if you could make some notes *endnotes*, that would work (with
separate numbering).
 
Good point, but the main issue is with renumbering here, which doesn't work
correctly in Word.

It is a rather minor problem compared to the other. This particular
"feature" makes Word very frustrating for academic/professional users.

By the "feature," I was actually referring to both problems--under the
general heading of footnotes/endnotes.
