                          ReplaceWith:="\1")
            ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add oRng, CStr(i), oRng.Text
            i = i + 1
            oRng.Collapse 0
        Loop
    End With
lbl_Exit:
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub

This works, thank you so much! (I'm not the one to judge, but: I looks really elegant too.)
Just one thing: The text between the brackets isn't deleted. It is transfered to the footnote, but it stays in the main art as well. How can I adapt the code get rid of the text in the main part?
Thanks!
