Tom, I am in science, and for us footnotes and references are almost always
distinguished in the manner you wish to accomplish. With Word 5.1 and the
plug-in, it is indeed easy to accomplish, at least if you do not require that
bibliographic citations use numbers (I'll return to this in a moment). Thus,
if you don't mind that bibliographic citations appear in the text as some
variant of the "author, date" type, you do the following:

1) for your discussion/elaboration footnotes, you use Word footnotes
2) for you bibliographic citations, you insert EndNote citations in the text,
and tell the plugin that you want your bibliography at the end of the document
(this is the default I think).

As far as Word is concerned, your references are not footnotes.

The one complication I mentioned earlier is if you require citation numbers
instead of "author-date in brackets". Using the method just defined, you would
have two parallel numbering schemes (and thus chaos from the reader's point of
view) unless you do not use numbers for the true footnotes.

Feel free to write to me at the email address below if I did not make myself
clear.
