Probably a dupe of bug 82173
footnote1: Default paragraph style footnotes 2-7: footnote text paragraph style footnote8: List paragraph style LO3.5 looks like 5.0 (only #1 is enlarged). LO5.3 looks like 5.0 still bibisect: bug described did start in 4.2, between CommitDate: Thu Sep 5 08:54:11 2013 +0200 and CommitDate: Mon Sep 2 18:17:03 2013 +0200 (?? fdo#68787 DOCX import: handle when w:separator is missing for footnotes) Lots of footnote changes between 4.2 and 4.4. The bug is mostly fixed in 5.1 between CommitDate: 2015-07-05 20:22:31 (GMT) and CommitDate: 2015-07-06 23:26:56 (GMT) (PROBABLY tdf#90611 DOCX import: fix missing paragraph style on footnotes) marking as Inherit From OOo since the current behaviour (?wrong? style on first/last footnote) matches the earliest I see in bibisect43-all.
Created attachment 133902 [details] footnoteTest.docx: simple, exaggerated test document Giving up. I have no idea how to get/set the properties of the footnote number. Using Writer, the only way I was able to adjust the size with direct formatting was to select the entire paragraph, so it SHOULD be fixable.

Minor. Wrong use of Default style in footnotes. I'd rather mark as WontFix.
Created attachment 186387 [details] footnotes_bug153255.docx Document from bug 153255 by Joao Carvalho. In this document, every single footnote has an enlarged number. It should be in size of superscript, but it is even larger than footnote text size instead.

Created attachment 186388 [details] Footnote number font is bigger than it's content MSWord--LOWriter.png Each footnote has an enlarged number. It should be superscript size, but instead it is larger than footnote text size.
Created attachment 186389 [details] After saving document in LO it's footnote numbers are unintentionally changed to bigger size (MSO&LO).png After saving in LO, footnotes are broken - became larger.
Comment 12's example is also "direct formatting mess", so it fits well with this bug report. <w:rPr> <w:rStyle w:val="FootnoteReference"/> <w:vertAlign w:val="superscript"/> // superscript directly format, not style </w:rPr> <w:footnoteRef/> Fortunately, LO doesn't allow you to make a mess of your footnotes. It forces you to properly use consistent styling. I expected that adding a new footnote in MS Word would have created it without any formatting, but surprisingly it did create a superscripted third entry. I couldn't find any reason for why it would do that. Perhaps an internal default? I also interestingly didn't see any definition for the style FootnoteReference.
