Hi Irene,
As for your second question (i.e. APA 5th): If you’re asking whether the Macro would work for a document ALREADY formatted in APA 5th which you would like to convert to a style using footnotes/endnotes instead of in-text citations (e.g. Chicago A), then the answer is YES! If it’s the other way around, then the macro, unfortunatelly, cannot help.
As for your first question:
After copying the macro to the clipboard (Ctrl+C),without the “=====” lines at the begining and the end, go to Word 2007 and follow these steps:
-
from the “View” ribbon/tab,click on “Macros”, and then choose “View Macros” from the drop down list/menu.
-
At the new dialog box/window, click in the Macro Name box, and type something there (doesn’t matter what as longs as it is without spaces)
-
Click on the “Create” button, at the right hand of the dialog box.
-
MS-Word launches the VBA ediotr:
-
On the “New Macro (code)” window, delete the lines stating with “Sub the name you gave on step 2” and Ending with “End Sub”
-
Paste the Macro (Ctrl + V)
-
Close the “Visual Basic for Application” editor window → this should return you back to Word.
-
Click on the Office button (at the top-left hand corner of the screen), and then click on “Word Options” button
-
At the Left hand of the new window, click on “Customize”
-
At the Right hand of the screen, from the “choose from commands” box, choose “Macros”
-
Under that box, you should be able to see now a list of available Macros, one of them should be: “Normal.NewMacros.intext2footnote.” → click it, and then click on the “Add” button (at the middle of the screen/window)
12) Click on the “Modify” button (under the long box to which you’ve added your macro)
13) At the new dialog box that is displayed with lots of icons, choose the icon to be displayed on the button that will launch your macro, and then click “OK”
- Click OK again at the word options window → this should get you back to Word.
If all is well, you should be able to see a new button on the Quick Access Toolbar (under the Ribbon) with the icon you’ve just designated. Clicking on this button will run the macro (make sure you do this only once you’ve placed the cursor at the begining of the text.)
Hope this helps…
