Oh, two more thing I forgot to mention on my original post (with the in-text citation to footnotes/endnotes Macro):
- In this macro the conversion is being done to endnotes. If you wish to directly conduct a conversion to footnotes (i.e. rather than first running the Macro for converting to footnotes and then using word shortcut menu to convert them to endnote), simply change the “Endnotes” to “Footnote” in the following line of code:
ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Reference:=""
- The quoted Word-macro works under the assumption that your references are placed at the end of the document in a seperate section. If they aren’t, the code AS IS won’t work. One could make it work, though, by deleting lines 3-6, as well as the second line from the end, and changin the 7th line to:
For Each vField In ActiveDocument.Fields
However, this would result in a superflous endnote attached to the referecnes list, which once deleted, takes the referecnes list away, so that you’d need to reaaply the output style in order to regain the references
