See here, should give you some techniques to help solve that.
I want the numbers in my footnotes not to be superscripted, and I want the
numbers to be followed by a dot and a tab

If Word is numbering the list for you, then it should change the number
automatically and update the cross-references, I believe. I don't use
numbered lists myself, but isn't that the whole point, that you can insert
and remove items and Word will sort out the numbering? I just did a 30-sec
test and that's what happens, and then F9 updates the cross-reference number
so that it still matches the original item.

Or are you manually typing each number for the list of sources?

I'm also fairly sure that cross-references are just a way of setting up
bookmarks that Word can update for you, it uses the same technology. But
not totally positive on that, too lazy to check, as I think cross-refs uses
hidden bookmarks.

Author and Date, I should think. Like an in-text citation--Mitchell 2004,
Mitchell 2005a and Mitchell 2005b, if more than one pub for the same year.
Forget which style that is--maybe MLA?

A question occurs to me--how do people using this style direct their readers
to the exact page?
