Default Word macro for selecting text and putting it in footnotes

Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum and I was wondering if someone here could help me (Google brought me here).
I have to convert a huge document (400+ pages based on a Latex-project) into a .docx file. Converting via pdf and Adobe Acrobat works pretty well, except for the footnotes. What I was trying to do was change the footnote into inline text market by two square brackets (looks like this “[[former-footnote text]]”).
What I am looking for is a macro that
1. finds the text between the double square brackets
2. crops this text
3. puts it in a footnote
4. removes the now empty brackets
5. repeats this behavior
I am not really familiar with Visual Basic. Maybe someone could point me to some snippets that help me.
Thank you very much!
