I imported into Word a large text document that has over a 1000 endnotes. The endnotes restart the numbering at the beginning of each chapter. Is there a way I can convert the text endnotes to actual linked endnotes? As a start I replaced all the existing endnote numbers that exist in the body of the document with red formatting so the endnote numbers are easily findable, hopefully. I'd like to do a find all RED numbers and replace them with an endnote marker in a manner similar to using ^p for paragraphs, but there is none that I can find.

I have Office 2011 on a Mac.
