Inserting footnotes in Word document

[Klaus Linke]

Hi Daiya,

As you expected (<g>) it can be done with a wildcard replacement, too.

For some stupid reason or another, ^f won't find footnote references when
wildcards are used.

But ^2 will match both footnote and endnote references.

So a wildcard replacement

Find what: (^2)(^2)
Replace with: \1, \2

will insert the commas. Those commas will pick up the style of the footnote
references, so there's no need to specifically format them in the replacement.

Regards,
Klaus

Cool! I didn't know about this; I see now where it is mentioned in the
Help. Very nice!! m.

Yes, very cool! Thanks, Klaus. That inability to replace footnotes has
bugged me a bunch of times.

I guess now that wildcards actually work in MacWord I should take the
trouble to learn them.
