Thanks a lot for your clear explanation of all the aspects of the problem.
The code below shows how I managed to format the marks in the footnote section. Can it be improved? Many thanks!
Code:
Sub FootnoteMark()
'Format Reference Mark in Footnote Section
ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneFootnotes
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^f"
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
While Selection.Find.Found = True
With Selection.Font
.Superscript = True
.Position = 0
.Wrap = wdFindStop
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
Wend
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Close
Selection.HomeKey
End Sub
