Hi, Jim: If I understand your situation correctly, I believe multiple references to the same footnote should use the same reference number in the main text or table cell text. Using this model, your second reference to footnote 2 should also display 2, so you may want to change your approach and use the cross-reference technique to capture the number 2 from the second footnote, rather than faking an increment to 3. If a new footnote reference is inserted before footnote 1 or 2, they'll increment correctly; the cross-reference to multiple instances of 2 may require a cross-reference update action, but otherwise, as any cross-reference, these are self-maintaining.
