After wasting an hour contemplating your idea, I'll be the first to say that I think it is impossible to reasonably do what you seem to want to do with VBA. After you have created all of your custom footnotes and were ready to final publish or print your document, then it would probably be possible to take that finalized document and create a list of custom note references at the end of the document, but to do this dynamically while you are working on a document I don't see it happening. Even if it could, it would probably take countless hours to work out and probably take a considerable amount of time to run with each change. Just my opinion.
