That should all be one line of code. Unfortunately, the mail program has
inserted a linebreak that does not conform to the visual basic line break
character.

Just delete the carriage return at the end of the first line so that the
second line becomes part of the first.

Thank you for this.

I am getting a compile error, syntax error at this line in the macro....

ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter vbCr & aendnote.Index & vbTab &
aendnote.Range

Any thoughts on how to fix this? I do not use macros much.

Thank you!
Heather

I have letter with two footnotes that I am using in a mail merge. They
are
numbered 1 and 2. When I complete the mail merge the footnote numbers
increase on the 2nd letter generated by the mail merge to 3 and 4.
Then
on
the third letter generated, to 5 and 6, and so on throughout the whole
mail
merged document.

How can I make the footnote numbers static in the mail merge document?
I
need them to be numbered 1 and 2 on all the letters generated by the
mail
merge.

Thanks for your help.
