Hi gmayor, I'm looking for help creating a macro similar to the one you created above.
Is there any chance you can whip up code for a macro that does the following:
Takes any string composed of a space, a left curly bracket, text (which may or may not include other curly brackets), a right curly bracket, and a period (such as " {Brennan, 2007, #74498}{George, 2012, #4564}{Maddow, 1977, #3456}." and...
1. Removes the " {Brennan, 2007, #74498}{George, 2012, #4564}{Maddow, 1977, #3456}" (including the first space);
2. Creates a new footnote *after* the period; and
3. Inserts "{Brennan, 2007, #74498}{George, 2012, #4564}{Maddow, 1977, #3456}." as the new footnote's text (with no space preceding the left curly bracket).
If this is possible you'd, like, be my hero for millennia!
