Formatting footnotes causes double footnote numbers

You could use a macro like:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim FtNt As Footnote
For Each FtNt In ActiveDocument.Footnotes
  With FtNt.Range.Characters.First.Previous
    If .Text = " " Then .Text = vbTab
  End With
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Yes. That is almost perfect. How do I get the period [.] in there in front of the tab. Sorry, I don't know the syntax for word macros.
