LaTeX Help in latex in writing a report

[Rajini]

Hello PF members,
I need a small help in latex in writing a report!
How to include footnotes (in the form of symbol!).
For e.g., i have 5 authors..for all these 5 authors i can use $^1$, $^2$, etc as author's address. I mean all are just numbers..
Now for 2 of the 5 authors i want add footnotes as symbols. That means 2 different symbols..
Can anyone help how to do this in latex...

thanks

What class file are you using? What does \footnote in the \author environment do? In some class files (e.g. revtex) that produces a symbol and a footnote.
