I prepare booklets for a Bible Study. I use Logos to import New American
Bible (NAB) verses into my booklets that go along with our study guide.
The problem: the combination of NAB source footnotes using a cross symbol
and importing to Word 2003 from Logos presents me a challenge. Footnotes are
important but I can't get the cross footnote icons from the source NAB to
change to normal numbered or alphabetized characters within my Word document.
A number of years ago I figured out a macro to search for the crosses and
using the Custom Mark - Symbol functions in Notes Option I was able to change
the crosses to std. icons. But after a Word update that changed and my fix
did not work anymore.
I now have to use the Notes Option to insert a character in the footnote
which is alphabetical (a,b,c, etc) for the page which works okay but then I
have to use "Go to Footnote" to find the corresponding cross footnote icon in
the text, delete the cross footnote icon and type in the correct,
corresponding character. It is not synchronized though, with the footnote,
so any paging changes creates havoc.
This has been okay for a while, but now my clients (church folk) are asking
for my output in different formats. When I change from a booklet format to a
full page format, the footnote characters change correspondingly in the
footnote area along with the change in paging, but the footnote characters in
the text are not synchronized so I have to go to each one and change it to
match the footnote character.
I hope you can help me figure out an automated way to change the footnotes
from the cross footnote icons to normal alphabetized symbols.
