Hi, Peter -- Thanks for taking this on. The sequence is 1,2,2,1. The first three are fine. The second 2 is indeed accomplished by the cross-reference technique. The only thing I had expected, based on the marked-up manual I'm revising, was that the final footnote would be a 3, not a 1. Based on Art's comment, the 1 is apparently what should be expected because it is a new table. If there's another way to get to 3 for the final note, in addition to the approach Art suggested, I'd be interested to learn about it and consider going that route.

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.
