Although the reference number (2) is correct, the footnote (1) does not number consecutively. This is in the same story -- bizarre!

    Are your text frames all threaded to each other? Sometimes I manually create a footnote for a footnote in a previous section as a workaround. So footnote 1 is a workaround and I start the next section at 2.

    Setting numbering in the Footnote Reference style created a clash; removing it didn’t seem to help yesterday but today cleaned it up. I must have done something else ….
