Hi cat,

welcome to the board!
You could use the command \footnotemark, like

Code: Select all

\footnotemark[1]

Or, if you don't mind using footmisc package, you may use \footref command provided by it. Here's an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{footmisc}

\begin{document}
Test\footnote{First footnote\label{first_footnote}} 
some text\footnote{Second footnote} and some more 
text\footref{first_footnote}
\end{document}
