Removing trailing spaces from footnotes

So how would the macro be supposed to tell when a hyperlink shouldn't have the trailing space removed, or when a paragraph in a footnote shouldn't have trailing spaces removed? It seems to me you want it to do what you asked, except when you don't... And you did say you were:

looking for a way to remove any trailing spaces from all footnotes.

and:

Quote:

Footnotes can have multiple hyperlinks and the last character may be within one of them and be a space or other character I want rid of

It also correctly handles the situation where:

their spaces may be separating words between Hyperlinks and non hyperlink text

Exactly this. Iterating through paragraphs of the wdFootnotesStory will not indicate to which footnote they belong.

Iterating the footnotes and their paragraphs lets you determine which is the last paragraph of a footnote (see my initial post).

I will guess that the last hyperlink of the last paragraph of a footnote is the one to potentially trim *if* there isn't any non-hyperlink-text after it (once the last paragraph's characters have been trimmed).
