Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has experience with these types of footnotes and if there is an easy way to remove them in bulk? I have attached a sample of the document.



Ctrl+Shift+f9 removes normal footnotes, but not these as far as I can see.

Cheers.

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

Thank you. What is the reason I cannot remove the footnotes by selecting them all and then deleting them? Can usually do that with normal footnotes

Deleting the content shown in red in my previous post deletes both the reference and the footnote, just as it does with ordinary footnotes.
