Footnotes turned squares, page numbers corrupted

One day I opened the document I'm working on again and noticed... well, since pictures say more than a thousand words, I described my problem here:
<http://bustspammers.com/Word_Footnote_Squares.html>

I could reinsert all footnotes, but if I delete the old "squared" ones, the referenced text is gone too and I have to re-copy/paste everything by hand. This is a long doc with over 100 footnote, so I'd like to avoid that. Besides, who knows if the issue comes back. Same for the weird page numbers.

Is there a simpler way to fix this? My ideas (font or style issues, field codes) have run out and also the microsoft.public.mac.office.word usenet group so far couldn't come up with a good answer. Can you?

Thanks!
Sven
