Hi Chanelle,
You were correct in that the quotation mark should have been an asterisk.
However, I don't think you should move the note from the bottom of the
page. I scan a lot of nonfiction with footnotes that are either marked by a
number or an asterisk, or some other character.
I always end the body of the page by a line of three asterisks separated by
spaces. Then a line break followed by the note(s).
Someone, maybe Mary, will have to answer definitively if moving the notes
is permissible, but my vote is to not move them.

Dear Volunteer list,
I was proofreading a book when I discovered that there was a line of text
followed by two blank lines and then another line of text which did not seem to
belong to the previous sentence. A page break followed the text. I realized
that the last text I saw was a note. Oddly, it began with a quote whereas its
reference further up on the page had a * at the end of a word. After finding
the sentence to which the note referred, I placed the note after it so that the
page flow would not be disrupted. A blank line was inserted before and after
the note. I also replaced the quote with a star. Was the * meant to be some
type of superscript that was not scanned correctly? Remembering the recent
discussion on the list and reading the directions regarding footnotes in the
scanning and proofreading manual, I did not put begin note and end note in
brackets. Was this correct? Or do I need to put the whole text of the note,
which is bolded, in brackets?
I am sorry for asking so many questions, and I hope that what I have
written makes sense.
Chanelle
