I have looked in Word help but cannot figure out how to
change the number format of all of my endnotes as a group
and when I select the endnote number and try to change the
format from the default the new number seems to be italic
and/or not what I want.

Hi DBeck,

Select an endnote number and right click and select Style and then modify
the format of the Style and you should be able to get it to be what you
want.

Please post any response to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may
also be following the thread.

Hope this helps,

I guess I need to clarify my problem; what you suggested
worked but isn't the answer to my problem. What I'd like
to do is change the style of the list of endnotes. At
present it appears that the number style of the endnote is
the same as that of the endnote reference in the text of
the manuscript. I need to change the numbering of the list
of endnotes so that the numbers aren't in superscript.
Maybe I need to change the style of the document?

Thanks,I am a user not a programmer so it took some
searching to find where you steered me. Unfortunately I
have all of my endnotes inserted, 282 of them, now I
discover the problem. Is there a macro I can download to
change them or will I have to go back and redo all of the
endnotes - a task which I don't relish.

If you hang around long enough, someone will probably provide a macro. I'm
not a programmer, either, so I can't do that. I would not, however, have
thought that it required programming skill to click on an URL in a NG
message.

Yeah, nice talk. I tried but the address didn't come
through on your reply as a hyperlink and when I
copy/pasted it to the address window I got page not found.
I eventually found it and didn't mean to annoy you.

Ah, I see you're posting through the Microsoft Communities portal. One of
its (many) current limitations, unfortunately, is nonworking links. And it's
possible the site was experiencing problems when you did finally try. FWIW,
if you connect to the NGs directly using a newsreader (and an account set up
for msnews.microsoft.com), you'll not only be able to click on URLs but also
find reading NGs much more efficient. For more, see these pages (more
unclickable URLs):

Hi David,

The following macro will replace the endnotes with "notes" numbered in the
format that you want:

Dim aendnote As Endnote
For Each aendnote In ActiveDocument.Endnotes
ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter vbCr & aendnote.Index & vbTab &
aendnote.Range
aendnote.Reference.InsertBefore "a" & aendnote.Index & "a"
Next aendnote
For Each aendnote In ActiveDocument.Endnotes
aendnote.Reference.Delete
Next aendnote
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font
.Superscript = True
End With
With Selection.Find
.Text = "(a)([0-9]{1,})(a)"
.Replacement.Text = "\2"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

As these "notes" will no longer be true endnotes, you should save the
document before running the macro and after running the macro, save the
document with another name in case you need to go back to the original and
make some changes.

Please post any response to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may
also be following the thread.

Thank you. I copy / pasted the macro beginning
with "Dim......" through "......ReplaceAll" into the macro
editor pane, I don't know if this was correct or not, when
I tried to run the macro I got syntax error and the macro
stopped at the "ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter vbCr &
aendnote.Index & vbTab ......" line. I probably did
something wrong. I am not familiar with Vb or anything
other than simple recorded macros so ......?

You may have to patch up the macro to repair line breaks introduced by
wrapping in the message. It looks like the line you cite needs to have
"aendnote.Range" at the end.

I tried it again and after saving it in the normal
template it worked. However there is a another problem.
Not only does my document have endnotes it also has cross
references to those endnotes. While the macro did almost
eveything I wanted to the numbering of the endnote text
the cross references now all have "error!Bookmark not
defined" instead of the endnote number.Aaaaggghh!!!!

Yes I discovered a line break and after correcting it the
macro worked but not without introducing another problem.
I got the endnote list looking good but apparently the
macro converted endnotes to "just text"? and now cross
references don't work because the endnote for the cross
reference dosen't exist anymore.

Hi David,

To overcome your crossreference problem I suggest that you use the macro
only immediately before printing the document and that before running the
macro, you unlink all of the fields in the document so that you do not get
the error message when about the bookmarks no longer existing.

Please post any response to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may
also be following the thread.
