Trouble with Bulk Removing Unusual Footnotes

macropod · #2 06-24-2019, 04:32 PM

Ctrl-Shift-F9 -which is used for unlinking fields and converting them to static text - has no effect on Word's footnotes, as they don't use field coding. Someone has customised and reformatted the footnote references in your document. For example, in:
G denotes the lost Greek archetype of G¹ G².
G¹ denotes the lost Greek text from which E L¹ were translated, and on which the Gk. Leg. was based. See pp. xxxi–xxxiii.
each of the red characters is a separate footnote reference - even the red period!

You can locate each of them via a macro:

Code:

Sub FtNtTest()
Dim FtNt As Footnote
For Each FtNt In ActiveDocument.Footnotes
  With FtNt
    .Reference.Select
    MsgBox .Reference.Text & vbCr & .Range.Text
  End With
Next
End Sub
