Hi Tony,

I tried to upload the file here but it didn't let me since the file is in RTF format. I saved it as doc, but then it's too big.

Is each 'footnote' (and I presume these are just normal text as far as Word is concerned) only referenced once? If not, are you not going to create duplicate bookmarks?
each footnote is only refered once, so it won't create duplicate bookmark.

Also how big are the documents - might it be feasible to build an array of the footnotes before you begin?
The each document has different size, it can be 10 pages or 30 pages. And the number of footnotes is between 5-30. So it's feasible to build an array I think.
