They actually suggest making the footnotes with superscripts. This may seem random, but Oxford University Press requires that manuscripts be submitted this way (believe it or not). Simply converting the footnotes to endnotes does not do the trick - I know how to do that.īasically, I want to unlink the footnote (or endnote) number from the footnote (or endnote) text. Thanks for the responses - I was planning to copy the text and keep it in a set of endnotes.

The code is simpler to write if you don't mind 'losing' the footnote text (because you have converted them to Endnotes).Ĭheers On 2/06/09 1:05 PM, in article ' wrote: - Don't wait for your answer, click here: Please reply in the group. But Macropod's question is pertinent: what are you going to do with the footnotes themselves when you do that? Because the footnotes are actually stored in the number (or at least Word treats them as if they were.) In VBA you would have to retrieve both the number and the footnote text, insert the number as text, then work out where to put the text.

If you have access to a copy of Word 2004 that does VBA then you can write a Macro that does it.
