How can I delete a footnote from a Word document?"

I have been trying to delete some footnotes, following the suggestions in
Help. One of them never deleted. In another, the note placement mark is gone,
but the footnote remains! Any suggestions, anyone?
 
Is there still a note reference mark in the footnote itself? If so,
double-click on that and Word will take you to the mark in the text. If you
wave the mouse around in that vicinity, you may see a ScreenTip that
suggests where the text reference is. Delete the text before and after that.
Also, consider the possibility that what you deleted may have been a
cross-reference to the footnote formatted to look like a note reference
mark; the actual reference may be Hidden; display Hidden text and look for
it.
