Actually there is a way to convert In-Text citations to endnotes/footnotes, by employing the following Word Macro. Please note that this Macro was originally written by Shyam Ranganathan, though I’ve improved it a bit… It’s not perfect, so do check the results and make the necessary touch-ups (i.e. in cases of citations directly following quotations), but overall, it does SAVE A LOT OF TIME… Enjoy
