I've created the 2 footnote references as described here and in help. The first created using special->footnote. The second done as a cross reference (to the same footnote text). When the PDF is created, the second one (the cross reference) is a hot, clickable link to take me directly to the footnote text. The first is not. Nothing I've tried seems to make the first reference to a footnote (the one inserted using the footnote option) into a hot link.
Any ideas?

X-refs have built in hyperlinks, but footnotes do not, nor do I know of any way to add a link to a footnote.
This would make a good feature request:

That... is something I never noticed (that the original footnote is not a clickable link)... the funny thing is, just before I read this post, I came across that myself today 🙂
Now... in the meantime, *if* it's important to you to have the footnote be a clickable link, you could do a bit of a kludge:
This works best for footnotes that appear at the 'end' a text string, since the 'hidden' character still takes up space. You could play with the character size (or other options) to make it occupy minimum horizontal space if it's an issue.

What a great hack! Thanks for sharing!
