Default Working with endnotes

I've been rattling every cage I can find for some help in copying endnotes in Word for Mac 2011. Stephan Bloom was a big help in getting me through the first step but now the second step is eluding me.

What I want to do is copy the endnotes from a chapter to a separate document and remove them from the original while retaining the superscript numbers in the original and providing a corresponding number in the deleted/copied.moved endnotes.

Word will not let me simply copy endnotes. An error message pops up saying it is an invalid action. The macro Bloom sent resolves part of the problem. It removes the superscripts from the endnotes and replaces them with regular numbers which can then be copied to a new document. The problem is the revised list looks like this:

1 Now is the time ...

My aim is to make it look like this:

1. Now is the time ...
2. For all good men ...

And so on through the list of footnotes. Does anyone have any idea how to create a macro to do this?

The second problem is the Bloom macro replaces all the superscripted references. Where before it looked like this:

Now is the time(superscript 1)

It comes out like this:

Now is the timea1a...

That means going through the entire document and replace the "a...a" with the appropriate superscript.

I think I I've found a workaround here,. if I work in Master Document mode the document appears as the original with all the endnote references in place and properly superscripted. It also removes the endnotes. I've only tried this with a couple of documents but it is encouraging.

The problem remains with formatting the copied endnotes.

Any and all help would be appreciated.
