Default Word Comments to Endnotes Conversion problem

Hi,

I used the below VBA macro I found on a forum to convert 700 comments in a word document into endnotes. This worked perfectly until I uploaded the word document to Amazon Kindle where it will be an ebook. In Word the endnote numbering system, restarting from 1 after each section break between chapters works perfectly. But when the document becomes a .mobi file for Kindle it lists the endnotes straight through from 1 to 700. This is a big problem as the superscript endnote reference numbers then become very obtrusive.

Does anyone know what I can do to rectify this? I'm guessing that the VBA macro I used makes the Word document look perfect but screws up the conversion process to .mobi for e-readers. I've tried every formatting solution I can think of, but I'm guessing what I need to do is somehow take the macro out of the Word document but leave what it did intact. But this is beyond my ability.

I've been researching and writing this book for 3 years and this is the final problem I need to solve in order to publish it, so much thanks in advance for any help.

Best,
Ben
