The footnotes are regular text without any formatting whatsoever even in the original text.

In my previous note I was assuming that the macro would use find and replace to do the text deletion.

I guess all I would really need to see is a window that finds text then deletes the text if I i hit one button or searches again if I don't want to delete it. Sort of like find and replace buttons on the search and replace window.

I can write the code for incrementing the counter.
