Wildcard "special" searches
Why do you want to make it constantly _more_ complicated? I asked for
a button to do one thing (a "transpose" function that works when a footnote reference is involved) and you've given it a multitude of functions whose utility escapes me. It didn't occur to me to ask about this earlier (because I hate endnotes) -- I don't suppose this will work on endnote references as well? (Not really a problem, because if any author had for some reason used endnotes instead of footnotes, I'd simply use Convert to fix them, and then when done Convert them back. A problem might arise, though, in the rare event that a document has both footnotes and endnotes.) On Jul 30, 8:07*pm, Venky62 wrote: Okay. That means your document can have a mixture or correctly placed footnotes and incorrect ones. That would be its state when editing was partly finished. Also, there may be footnotes in the middle of a sentence, not only at the end. If there's a comma after it (an individual item in a list is footnoted, say), then it needs to be changed; if there isn't (a note on the subject of a sentence that would be inappropriate at the end of the sentence, for instance), then the question would not even arise. This code takes care of that. It searches for a footnote and asks if you want it to be transposed. If you click "Yes" then it will do so, else it will move on. Once it reaches end of document, it will ask you if you would like to do the search again from the beginning of document. If you say "Yes", then it will take you to the beginning and you can start again; if "No" then it does nothing. That sounds like at least as much, if not more, work than no macro at all. The point is to _simplify_ editing, not to add complications. If you still want to do it by placing the cursor between the footnote ref. and the next character, that can be done too. But this is more useful. I suspect you've never been a copyeditor ... On Jul 30, 3:19*pm, "Peter T.

Takes two Undo's to set it right. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: TransposeFootnote2.txt * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | |Download:http://www.wordbanter.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=135| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
