Word macro for selecting text and putting it in footnotes

Based on the clock, the mysterious one may have signed off for the day. It is elegant. I particularly like the lbl_Exit: Exit Sub part.

Code:

Sub Macro1()
Dim oRng As Range
Dim strText As String
Dim lngIndex As Long
  Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
  lngIndex = 1
  With oRng.Find
    While .Execute(FindText:="\[\[(*)\]\]", _
                   MatchWildcards:=True, _
                   ReplaceWith:="\1")
      ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add oRng, CStr(lngIndex), oRng.Text
      lngIndex = lngIndex + 1
      oRng.Text = vbNullString
      oRng.Collapse 0
    Wend
  End With
lbl_Exit:
  Set oRng = Nothing
  Exit Sub
End Sub
