Use continuously repeated text as footnote/endnote separator?
It is possible to insert text or graphics as the footnote (and/or endnote) separator, but this will be static content that can't be updated.
Consider using headers or footers instead. You can add a STYLEREF field there and have it reference current content in a particular style from the body of the text, if that helps.
Also I read about STYREF field before when I tried to find a solution for this problem, but I don't understand how this field helps me repeat a piece of text like that. Wouldn't copy and paste the text multiple times be easier?
Since the footnote separator is the same throughout the document, I don't think there is a way to accomplish exactly what you initially asked for. (Similarly, the endnote separator will be the same throughout a document.)
The question is, would you consider implementing something similar, in a different way?
The idea of the STYLEREF field is that you can repeat content in a header or footer (or in the main body of the document) and you don't need to update the repeated content manually if the text in the source style changes. (The principle is used with the headers in dictionaries, for example, where you will usually see the first and last word on the page listed in the header area.)
The STYLEREF field won't work inside the footnote or endnote separator, of course.
