Hi!

I have a word document converted from Indesign. With the conversion, the endnotes lost its the links, which means I now have all the superscript references correctly inserted along the text body and in the end of the document I have all the endnotes together.
Is there any way to "relink" the endnotes without having to copy-paste them manually? I'm talking about 350 endnotes, which means it will be really time consuming (an a bit of a nag) to do it one by one...

Thank you for your help!

Hi, Greg.

I still didn't try it in the final document, but I made some testing and it seems to be working perfectly! I would never be able to develop this on my own, with my short knowledge of VBA coding, and I'm still trying to figure it out some of the code you used (I'll get there, I hope! :)).

Let me just ask you two things:
1. As long as I understood, the notes must be after a page or section break, is that it?
2. How about if I have several page breaks in the document? Will it be a problem?

Thank you once again for your help.
