Hi, my first post and I am stymied by this problem!

I am in the process of writing an incredibly large book (currently 270,000 words) on the history of a glassworks. While writing this it is essential to keep track of the references and sources, hence the need for hundreds of footnotes, although some will be removed when the final edit is performed.

When I started writing, I noticed that the footnotes were being included as a single word count, which I wanted to avoid. The conventional position for the footnote is immediately after the full stop in a sentence, although sometimes they are used in mid-sentence.

To prevent this I decided to try positioning them immediately before the stop, but now I would like to move them all back to the conventional place.

OK, so I know that ^fn (footnote special character) can be used within the Find/Replace dialogue, however, ^fn cannot be used in the 'Replace' field. So, simplistically:
Find: ^fn.
Replace with: .^fn

is invalid.

Can anyone suggest a solution? Any help is much appreciated!
