Find/replace in footnotes (2002 SP3)

I’m trying to figure out how to remove one space before every footnote mark in a document. I can do a Find for (space)+^f, but there’s no ^f available in the Replace With list.

Tick the “Use wildcards” check box in the Replace dialog.
Enter ( )(^2) in the Find what box, and 2 in the Replace with box.
The parentheses divide the search text into two parts – the first contains a space and the second ^2, the code that can be used to find a footnote mark while using wildcards.
The 2 in the replacement text refers to the second part of the search text.

See the help on searching with wildcards and Find/Replace Special Characters (Word) for more info.
