Help in latex in writing a report

In summary, the person is asking for help on how to include footnotes in a report written with latex. They specifically want to know how to use different symbols for two out of five authors. The response suggests checking the class file being used and the \footnote command within the \author environment, as it may already produce a symbol and footnote in some class files.

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.
