It's not hard to select text via VBA. It's also not difficult to place selected text into a footnote. You won't even have to copy and paste!
One of the questions you might have to ask is how much text do you want to select? A paragraph? A sentence? Be aware that Word considers "Hello Dr. Honey, how are you?" as two sentences because of the period after "Dr": "Hello Dr." and "Honey, how are you?" This script may not do exactly what you want, but hopefully it will give you ideas. The script selects a sentence and inserts it as a footnote. Code:
Dim x As String With Selection .Collapse ' Start by collapsing current selection .Extend ' Select the entire sentence .Extend .Extend End With Let x = Selection Selection.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Text:=x |

If the footnotes are in a different file than the main document, and that second file is not a Word file, VBA might not be the right tool to automate the task.
A third-party scripting tool, like Macro Express or AutoHotkey, might be a better bet. However, unless you have hundreds (or thousands) of footnotes, it might be faster to insert the task manually than to automate the task via macros! |
