Here is the solution I came to. All of the documents I analyze use separators when producing footnotes. The macro checks each page for separator stories and adds the result. Thanks again for your help.
Code:
Dim aPage As Page
Dim j As Long, k As Long, l As Long, m As Long, x As Long, y As Long
j = ActiveDocument.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages) 'Total Page Count
k = 0 'keeps track of current page being analyzed
l = 0 'counts Separator Story
m = 0 'counts Continuation Separator Story
For Each aPage In ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Pages
k = k + 1
x = aPage.Rectangles.count 'counts Rectangles on each Page
For y = 1 To x 'cycles through Rectangles on each Page
If aPage.Rectangles.Item(y).RectangleType = wdTextRectangle Then
If aPage.Rectangles.Item(y).Range.StoryType = wdFootnoteSeparatorStory Then
l = l + 1
End If
If aPage.Rectangles.Item(y).Range.StoryType = wdFootnoteContinuationSeparatorStory Then
m = m + 1
End If
End If
Next
Next
Debug.Print l + m
