Default Relinking Footnotes

I've been working on removing styles in a word document but applying the style's formatting in a direct manner. In that connection, I've found this thread helpful.



When I run the "UnLinkNotes()" macro provided in this post, everything runs properly. I can then save as an RTF file, open-edit-and-resave in WordPad, and reopen-and-resave as a DOCX in Word. The formatting is then applied directly (what I'm wanting), but the footnotes are still grouped at the bottom of the document.

When i run the "ReLinkFootNotes()" macro provided in this same post, however, I'm not able to reattach the footnotes. Instead, I get a "Type mismach" error on this line "k = .Paragraphs(1).Range.Words(1) - 1" in the macro.

Would you have any suggestions about how to adjust the macro so that it will run and relink the footnotes?

Thank you so much!

Did you select the footnotes to be converted before running the ReLinkFootNotes macro, as the instructions in the post say you must?

Unfortunately, no. I did read over that part of the instructions. That did the trick. Thanks so much for the reminder.
