Obtain the official scripting reference at the bottom of the following page:

AFAIR Ole promised us for the next version a graphic of the object model...
would be fine to have it here on my room board in DIN A1 format.

What might be helpfull for your task is the TextStyleRange object, e.g.
based on the text frame you can iterate over it and so check for the
occurences of distinct char styles.

One special issue you should regard when developing your algorithm: what if
the footnote is in the last lines and the inserted footnote text will be
larger that the lines following the footnote number to the end of the page?

Would be fine if you can provide us with infos how you are working on this
tool, feel free to ask when you are stuck, sometimes someone other might
come to a clever solution your are not thinking about.
