In the text of my document, I would like to keep the full name of the elements--Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, etc., but in the footnotes, I would like to use the abbreviations instead.
Your macro changes indiscriminately all full names for their corresponding abbreviation, whether they appear in the body of my document or in the footnotes.
Best,
Bob
