Solution:
There are two ways to remove the footnotes:
1. If you want to remove one by one, just place the cursor next to footnote marker in the text and delete marker to delete footnote reference including footnote text.
2. If you want to remove all footnotes in one go, you can use Find/Change and enter \o in Find What and leave empty in Change to. Then, find next to find one instance and select Change All to replace all footnotes. It removes footnote markers as well as footnote text.
NOTE: There is no option to temporarily hide footnotes.
