I have an 85 page Word document that has Word endnotes in it and I have a 70 page Word document that has endnotes and cross references that were created in (the program) EndNote.

The two files are to be combined into a single file with Word's endotes ONLY.

If I copy the text from the EndNote document and paste it into the Word document, the endnotes are not going to be correct as there will be the Word endnotes and the EndNotes from the program.

Is there a way to convert endnotes generated from the EndNote program to Word's endnotes?

EndNote can export to a text file (see http://kbportal.thomson.com/display/2/kb/article.aspx?aid=110482&n=1&docid=84190) and you could then use a macro to turn the text file entries into the required XML format for Word. As examples, Word XML entries might look like what's in the attached file. As you'll see, the amount of XML can vary, according to the kinds of data you're importing.

IIRC, EndNote also supports free text that can be added as a comment, but Word's citations/bibliography tools don't.

I do not have EndNote on this computer. The EndNote created endnotes are all at the bottom of the document that I am to add to the main, MS Word endnoted' document.

I have cut all the references out of the EndNote document and pasted them as text only into a new file. So now I have my references in a separate file.

In the EndNote file, I unlinked all the references using the VBA command, activedocument.Fields.Unlink, so now I have a document with superscriped numbers where the fields used to be.

Now I have to figure out how to start from the top of the document and work towards the bottom replacing the first instance of a superscripted number with a MS Word endnote that corresponds to the number in the reference page. That in itself shouldn't be too difficult BUT as I go along the superscripted numbers will be changing AND and any additional instances of the original superscripted number have to be replaced with a cross reference to the original number. SO... things can turn to a real mess in a hurry.

Currently working thru a print out of this document, making a list of the reference numbers so I have a way to check myself.

Without EndNote, that's about the best you'll be able to do without writing a macro that goes through each field and extracts the relevant data. Even then, unless you've got access to the EndNote-generated bibliography, you may not have enough detail for Word's bibliography entries.
