Thanks Andrew, however this script doesn't seem to change the formatting. Still getting the same result when pasted. Running the following code to inspecting the style on each character after running your code shows as below. Not sure how to get rid of these pesky Endnote References
Code:
Sub formatCheck()
Dim rng_character As Range
For Each rng_character In ActiveDocument.Characters
Debug.Print (rng_character.Text & " " & rng_character.Style)
Next rng_character
End Sub
T Normal
e Normal
s Normal
