MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / May 2004embedded endnotes
Hi: I'm copy-editing a journal article with embedded endnotes (Word 2000; Windows XP). The web designer, who puts the article on the web, wants the endnotes NOT embedded. Is there a macro or other simple way to UNembed the endnotes? Thanks, Bob Adler Hi Bob > I'm copy-editing a journal article with embedded endnotes > (Word 2000; Windows XP). > The web designer, who puts the article on the web, wants > the endnotes NOT embedded. > Is there a macro or other simple way to UNembed the > endnotes? Starting from Normal view, I'd probably go into View | Footnotes/Endnotes, and copy them all out into an empty document. If you have troubles with the numbering not restarting correctly, either a Ctrl+Q or a deletion (Alt-Select with mouse, cut) and subsequent renewal of the numbering (apply a numbering via toolbar or a numbered style) should do the trick. Greetinx .bob ..Word-MVP  Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X Against HTML / \ in e-mail & news Hi, Robert, and thank you. I'm halfway (more or less) there: I copied the endnotes into a new document. Each endnote (as you anticipated) has the same superscript number (1) before it. I tried using Alt + Select (of which I was previously unaware) to select a vertical line of the superscript number 1s to delete them but wherever the endnote exceeded one line of text, the succeeding lines of text had been lined up under the note number. Their first letters got deleted with the numbers. If I could delete only the numbers I'd be able, as you suggest, to format>number them anew. Can you help? Thanks, again.

The quickest way is possibly to select all you got in that endnote-only document (CTRL A) and format the paragraph to have a hanging indent of, say, half a cm (or inch, if you're from that part of the world :-)). Doesn't matter, just has to be easily more room than the the [1]s. Now the selection will be easy. The purists amongst us would of course change the underlying style instead of the paragraph (then you don't have to select anything first), but that won't be necessary here, I reckon. An alltogether different approach would be to try search/replace-ing the numbers with a wildcard search. Since the roundabout looks quicker, not really worth the effort unless you're really fluent with word's RegEx. 2cents .bob ..Word-MVP Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X Against HTML / \ in e-mail & news Hi, Robert. Works for me. Thanks. Now, if I only knew what RegEx was... Bob PS: I hope this is not HTML >-----Original Message----- >Hi Bob [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >..bob >...Word-MVP Hi, Robert. I hope I'm not wearing you out with this. I started recording a macro to automate your instructions. I got to the point where the endnotes in the new document were selected and the hanging indent was created. BUT, I couldn't deselect the text (so that I could then Alt+mouse-select the endnotes prior to deleting them). How can I deselect text while the record macro is running? Thanks, again.

Oh, I wasn't aware that you were looking for way to automate this (didn't sound like a recurring issue :-)). > I got to the point where the endnotes in > the new document were selected and the hanging indent was > created.

I'm not sure you can do this in VBA – but this doesn't mean anythign, really! If none else jumps in here, I suggest you go ask in the .vba group. Greetinx .bob ..Word-MVP ...if the Alt-Selection doesn't work in VBA, the searching with Regular Expressions will have to be implemented.

I gave you a macro in the vba newsgroup. In that post however you did not mention the booknote references that the printer may want deleted from the text as well. If he does, then use: Dim Source As Document, Target As Document, aen As Endnote, i As Integer Set Source = ActiveDocument Set Target = Documents.Add i = 1 For Each aen In Source.Endnotes Target.Range.InsertAfter i & "." & vbTab & aen.Range & vbCr i = i + 1 aen.Reference.Delete Next aen Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP > Hi, Robert. > Thanks. Will do.
