If you're referring to my reply to Morris Krok, I think I
distinguished pretty clearly between "footnote numbers in text" and
"footnote numbers in the footnote area" (either at the foot of the
page or, in the case of endnotes, at the end of the document) --
i.e., the numbers preceding the footnotes or endnotes themselves.
If you want superscript in *those* numbers you certainly do need to
"spec" it in .

Nothing odd there. There's never been any WYSIWYG superscript or
subscript in anything other than graphical view. In DOS character-
based displays or in non-graphical, non-eXPanded XyWin display modes
footnote numbers are full-sized but in color, reverse video, or
whatever screen MoDe the user has assigned to superscript. (In
eXPanded view, of course, footnote numbers don't display at all.)
