Oh my! Thank you! This *almost* works perfectly. Unfortunately, the footnote numerals in the main text lack periods before them (since the original periods have been moved into the footnotes at the bottom of the page along with the citation strings).

Inserting periods manually is possible using find/replace, but in order to do this, the footnotes produced with your macro have to be run through this additional macro: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...tml#post100159



So: Any chance you could *either* tweak your macro to insert new periods before the footnote numerals in the main text, *or* incorporate that second macro I just linked to into your macro, *or* perhaps....both?

I know I'm asking way to much. Thanks for what you've already done!

Hello

I have similar task to convert latex to docx. Now I need to move text to footnotes. Footnotes are separated by symbols \footnote{text to inserted to footnote}. I tried that macro, but it showed an error for me. Could somebody help?

Before you go down this route, have you tried converting the original tex file with pandoc?

I've already got docx. I'm not familiar with pandoc. Now I just need to move text in brackets to footnotes.

Sorry I can't help you with that, because I was the one that gmayor helped up above in this thread. Maybe they'll swoop in and help you. Good luck.
