Thanks for a great macro--it did fix the weird numbering problem I was having in my doc, but it also deleted the first word from most of the notes. Most of the original notes did not have any space or tabs between the number and the text, but the first word disappeared whether there was a space or not, and stayed when there was a tab. This doc has over 600 endnotes, so I'm hoping for an alternative to inserting tabs in all the existing notes. Thanks for any help.
