Hello, thank you both for your answers. A new link to the same document,
saved as ODT: http://copy.com/t38Z7xRx9CrSjiNI – hope this one will
open flawlessly.
I don't see an automatic method, but there is a manual techniques that
is quite straightforward.
I know the manual way of doing it – although I had a good reason to ask
about an automatic method: the original file contains 1000+ footnotes :)
This should have been written it at the very beginning: I am quite
familiar with LO Writer and really have tried out different options. I
decided ask my question because I really don't know what to do now.

o Either: place the cursor on the first footnote anchor, so that it
changes from I-beam to a hand, and go to right-click |
Footnote/Endnote... .
o Or: place the cursor immediately to the left of the first footnote
anchor and go to Edit | Footnote/Endnote... .
o In the Edit Footnote/Endnote dialogue, the Numbering type is shown
as Character; change this to Automatic.
o *Don't* click OK, but instead click the right-arrow at bottom right
to move to the next footnote anchor.
o Repeat the process, clicking Automatic and the right-arrow each time.
o When the right-arrow becomes greyed out, you have come to the end of
the footnote anchors; click OK.
o The label in the footnote now labelled "D" has different format from
the others, as it has a different paragraph style. Open the Styles and
Formatting window and correct this.
o The footnotes are now labelled A, B, C, etc. If you want to change
this - perhaps to the conventional 1, 2, 3, etc. - go to Tools |
Footnotes/Endnotes... | Footnotes | AutoNumbering | Numbering and make
your choice.
I trust this helps.
