Endnotes

[Article Editor]

I need to have endnotes in the body of my texts in superscript, but the
endnote numbers "in the endnote section" need to be in normal, roman text
size.

Every time I change any endnote number to roman in the endnotes section, it
changes all of the endnotes throughout the document off of superscript, which
of course, looks ridiculous. My documents have hundreds of endnotes, and
thus far, I've had to go in, highlight every endnote throughout the entire
document, and change it individually to superscript.

Test this ON A COPY.

Make sure the cursor is IN the endnote section--preferably in the first
endnote.

Do a Find and Replace--click on More to expand the dialog and show the
Special and Format menus.

In Find, use the Special menu to enter Endnote Mark.

In Replace, leave the box blank, but with the cursor in it, use the
Format menu to format the box as not-superscript.

Replace All *should* only run on the endnote section, and should ask you
"continue from beginning of document" before changing anything in the
main text. Say "No."

If Replace All doesn't behave like that, and affects your main doc, then
ditch that copy or Undo. Set it up again--even clicking Replace and Find
Next hundreds of times should still be faster than doing it manually. Or
you could try selecting the endnotes and running the Find and Replace on
a selection.
