Change EndNote citations color

b0x4it · #1 05-17-2011, 08:54 PM

I am using the following code to make Endnote citations Blue for the purpose of having tagged pdf with blue links. The problem is that for the citation like [3], this code changes the color of the whole [3], but I want to change the color of just 3 and not the brackets. Is there any way to do that either by using VBA or through Endnote's setting?

Code:

Sub ChangeCitationColor()
    ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font
        .Color = wdColorBlue
    End With
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "^19 ADDIN EN.CITE"
        .Replacement.Text = "^&"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
End Sub

For the Endnotes addin (which I've never used), you're at the mercy of what that addin supports. Rather like Word's citation fields, in which you can't change the colour of the individual components (eg the page #).
