Default Copying endnotes

I'm working on a book with 30 chapters. I've been using endnotes in each chapter. Before I send the mss to the publisher I'd like to move the notes from the end of each chapter to a single document entitled something like Chapter Notes. But copying the endnotes and pasting them in a new document means losing all the reference numbers.



I understand why this is happening, but is there a workaround -- a way simply to do a screen capture and paste without using Cmd-C. I tried CMD-X but it is inoperative in that mode.

Is it possible to create a master document and have all the notes appear as a final chapter?

I'm using Word for Mac 2008 and Lion.

Many thanks.

Does Word 2008 for Macintosh support macros? In that case, you may be able to convert the endnotes to static numbers which can be moved to a separate document. I seem to recall such a macro a few years back in the Word newsgroups; I'll look around for it and see what comes up.

The following code was created by Doug Robbins:


Code:
 
' Macro created 29/09/99 by Doug Robbins to replace endnotes with textnotes at end of document 
 
' and replace the endnote reference in the body of the document with a superscript number. 
 
' 
 
Dim aendnote As Endnote 
 
For Each aendnote In ActiveDocument.Endnotes 
 
ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter vbCr & aendnote.Index & vbTab & aendnote.Range 
 
aendnote.Reference.InsertBefore "a" & aendnote.Index & "a" 
 
Next aendnote 
 
For Each aendnote In ActiveDocument.Endnotes 
 
aendnote.Reference.Delete 
 
Next aendnote 
 
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting 
 
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting 
 
With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font 
 
.Superscript = True 
 
End With 
 
With Selection.Find 
 
.Text = "(a)([0-9]{1,})(a)" 
 
.Replacement.Text = "\2" 
 
.Forward = True 
 
.Wrap = wdFindContinue 
 
.Format = True 
 
.MatchWildcards = True 
 
End With 
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

That's great. Many thanks. I knew there had to be some way of doing it; I just couldn't figure it out.
