cannot select all footnote reference numbers, Nor can I change the font on any of them MAC 12.5.1

cannot select all footnote reference numbers, Nor can I change the font on any of them.

the current file is imported from google docs that was a PDF from another program. 

So PDG-GOOGEL DOCS SAVED WORD FILE - WORD FILE

But actually this has happened many times as a straight word file. 

Using two languages but number are in default English lang.

 

The footnotes came over with wrong font for reference numbers. I cannot A. select all footnote ref numbers and B. cannot change the font at all. I have to delete the footnote entirely and make a new footnote and paste the info on bottom.

the footnote number on bottom of page do not have this problem as I was able to select all and change font. 

 

Yes I went into styles and changed it and clicked modify and nothing. I just spent half hour at least with support and they couldn't help me, had me delete Word. 

 

PLEASE HELP ME

I need to change these footnotes and its a MESS

    I went BACK into stylesheet footnote ref - and changed default lang to English and still did not change anything. I still can't change the font
    • If you upload a copy of the file and provide details of the change that you want to make, we will investigate the issue.

        It has to do with language as I see now on the bottom that the footnotes are in another language and even if I go into language and change it it stays the other language.

        How do I upload?

    I think it has to do with the language as I can now change the font to another font in the other language but not in English (the font I need) how do I change the ref num language??
