With LaTeX, I can do:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[symbol*]{footmisc}

\begin{document}
One\footnote{f1} Two \footnote{f2} Three \footnote{f3} Four \footnote{f4} 
\end{document}

And get *, †, ‡, § ... as consecutive footnote markers. MS-Word has this feature too - an alternative footnote numbering scheme. How can I achieve the same with LibreOffice?

PS - Shouldn't the OpenOffice and LibreOffice tags be merged?
